Easter and Summer Opportunities for Group Venue Hire
St Mary's Music School makes a superb location for a summer school, situated right in the heart of historic Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, (renowned worldwide as a capital of culture), yet surrounded by tranquil gardens and the peace of a residential crescent. With en-suite accommodation in twin rooms, an extensive fleet of pianos, full catering facilities, classrooms, practice and performance rooms, the School makes the perfect base for learning in a fun and stimulating environment. It is also within a couple of minutes walk of Haymarket train station with bus and tram links to the airport making it easily accessible. And once here, all you need to do is walk or choose from the extensive range of public transport options.
During the summer Edinburgh is alive with the Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe as well as the usual wealth of cultural and creative activites. Many visitors enjoy simply admiring the architecture or the excellent shopping options available.
