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.

I just wanted to say a big thank you once again to you and to your team - especially Adam and Carrie and her excellent tech team, and the lovely ladies at the box office, who were always so helpful, warm, pleasant and professional. The Yarn was the 5th show I have brought to the Fringe (plus another 3 visits as an actor) and I have worked with a variety of venues, all good, but none who have made it all quite as easy and smooth and friendly as theSpace team. I would very much like to return to theSpace in 2013 and I will be in touch in September, however I shall be thinking of you all still beavering away and making magic happen at the very heart of the Fringe with a tinge of envy.

We hope you are all enjoying the festival, although for you all we know it is also hard work. We are having a great time as always and we would like to book the same slot (12 noon) same venue - theSpace on the Mile, theatre 1 for next year Monday 8th August to Saturday 13th August 2016. Thanks for everyone

We had a great festival and really enjoyed performing at theSpace. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Thank you for having us on behalf of all the cast and crew of Jet Set Go!

Overall very happy with thespace, having visited lots of other venues when I was up in Edinburgh, there was no doubt that thespace was the most comfortable seating, air-conditioned and the friendliest staff. Will be back next year without a doubt- what's more the Radisson was positioned perfectly so that we could grab last minute audience members from just outside and entrance them with the central location and the idea of going to a nice bar beforehand.

I just wanted to email you to thank you for helping us to bring Solve to Edinburgh, and for providing us with such a fantastic space which really really worked for our play and for us as a company. It encouraged us to push ticket sales, resulting in a sell out run which we had never expected! Also, a big thank you should be extended to theSpace team. They were so helpful and supportive throughout the week, illustrated by them all coming to watch our production which meant a lot! We are hoping to return to Edinburgh next year and to use one of your venues, so no doubt you will hear from me again soon!

This was a superb venue,well run and playbox theatre would certainly love to return, Playbox Theatre were proud to be part of The Spaces programme this year, a rich and exciting mix

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for having us in theSpace @Symposium Hall. We had a wonderful experience at the fringe and have had lots of interest from producers and promoters hoping to develop the show further in London, so should anything exciting come to pass, I'll keep You posted. I can't praise the space team highly enough. They were so welcoming, professional and pleasant to deal with. Karl is a gent, nothing is a problem. Sally and Alex are fantastic. They made our lives so much easier with all their help and smiles each evening. And Claire and the rest of the box office staff there are lovely to deal with and super at their jobs. Congratulations on running the most slick, professional and welcoming venue we've had the pleasure to play in. We really enjoyed our time there. Best of luck with the rest of the festival. Enjoy the Wrap at the weekend. Hopefully our paths will cross again and we will be back to theSPACE in the not so distant future. Sharon and cillian

Your first outing at the Fringe can be a terrifying one, full of whats, if's and maybe's. Within 5 minutes of meeting the team at theSpace@NiddrySt any fears I had were allayed. The tech and box office teams were incredibly helpful, professional and with plenty of good advice to offer, as well as being approachable and full of warm humour, any question or problem no matter how big or small was answered quickly with the minimum of fuss. Squeaky Door Production Company look forward to working with theSpace team at the 2012 Fringe!
