Testimonials

theSpaceUK has been the Edinburgh home for Top Edge Productions since 2004 and we really have been made to feel at home. In stark contrast to some other Edinburgh venues, the team really care about the companies who use their space, giving superb technical support and unfailing assistance in a crisis. Technical standards are high, and - which is important if you have a lot of props. Our theatre is also brilliantly located just off the Royal Mile and a stone's throw from the station. theSpaceUK is well established (and well known - reviewers don't get lost getting there) and the management are showing their commitment to the Fringe project by offering several further venues at the same end of town. Finally, theSpace are sensible about money. They charge very reasonably, and they recognise that your money belongs to you: you get the box office receipts straight after the show, not several weeks later when you've actually gone bankrupt. We like it so much, we're bringing two shows up this year. Why would anyone want to go anywhere else?

In addition to the technical side, Charles and his team have provided support in many other areas including marketing and press coverage and their accounting for box office receipts has always been carried out promptly and efficiently. We now regard them as friends. theSpaceUK Note: Margaret sadly passed-away in September 2010. She will be sadly missed by all those that had the pleasure of working with her. Her passion for theatre, notably in her performances as Edith Piaf at theSpace@Venue 45 gave inspiration to all young actors who had the good fortune to see her perform.

We were so lucky to have the Space on the Mile as a venue; it was a great selling point. It was incredibly convenient for audiences, air conditioned, elegant in a relaxed way.

The food/bar and heated/covered seating area outside was a great facility to have and helped with attracting audiences - particularly on bad weather days. All the staff were there to help & work with us to make the show as good as it could be. Some were interested enough to come and see my show, which was lovely. Relationships with other companies was amiable and made for smooth change-overs. As an audience member at other fringe venues I found that front of house standards didnt always match those I encountered at theSpace. I would recommend this venue to other companies and I hope to return in the future.

just a brief note of appreciation for the way in which your staff supported our run of performances at The Space on The Mile this last week. Their professionalism and sense of humour were much appreciated by all in our company. The facilities were excellent - a lovely performance space. We hope to be back and would love to work with you and all at TheSpaceuk again!

At the time of writing, I would think you are away on a well deserved break after another fantastic Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We thoroughly enjoyed it as we do each year and many thanks to all of your staff for looking after us so well.

Everything was brilliant! Can't think of a single fault. From the box office staff to the techies, everyone was so helpful and understanding. Our first Edinburgh Fringe wouldn't have been the same without the great team at theSpaceUK. Thank you so much, we can't wait to come back.

Just an e-mail to say a huge thank you! We had a fantastic time at theSpace and we were made to feel welcome from the very start. The venue was great and the team were really friendly and helpful. It made our first Edinburgh Fringe festival an absolute delight. Could you please send a special thank you to Gareth, Reece and Jen? Not only were they efficient and professional but we had a good laugh with them! We are back next year with a brand new piece of writing. We will absolutely consider using theSpace again. We will be in touch nearer the time. Thank you again.

Thanks to theSpaceUK staff for all their help in making us Fringe virgins fell very welcome. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed our Fringe adventure.

One of the reasons the Space programme is so extensive is that Pamment goes out of his way to accommodate shows which wish to do shorter runs, while many of the other venue operations of similar size prefer acts to perform for the full three weeks. But this flexibility is important, the Space chief reckons, because it
