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.

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!

On behalf of all at Hungry Bitches Productions just wanted to drop a note to say thank you. We had a great run with Space UK this year and I particularly wanted to comment on how amazing all the staff were at Symposium Hall, all were so helpful and good to us so thanks very much. I hope the rest of the festival is a success for you.

A rather belated but heartfelt thank you to you and your team at SpaceTriplex for making us so welcome and being so helpful with our show, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. We loved our time at the Fringe and the kids were so delighted to have been part of such an incredible Festival. I was not quite sure how easy it would be to bring a show to the Fringe but you made it simple and it was a pleasure to be in the venue. Please thank everyone involved.

I felt that the technical staff were wonderful. I work in a West End theatre, and I know that what they got paid, compared to the hours of hard work they put in was not amazingly good. They were just really dedicated and made the business of putting a show together in the venue a real pleasure. I think Charles Pammet was a good contact person, he offered good advice and was always available for a chat.

The company was treated in a professional way in spite of its 'amateur' status which was very much appreciated.

Based on my experience with the team at the space @ Venue 45 I thought that all Festival venues were friendly, welcoming, informed and highly professional- NOT SO!!! I did just two nights at another city venue and it was dirty unsupported, boiling hot and miserable - I feel like we've struck gold with theSpaceUK and Mulberry Theatre Co will be sticking with them in the future - a very fruitful collaboration!

I know you are still up to your eyes in everything but I just wanted to say a big 'Thank You' for your tolerance and support this year. We were so pleased and surprised to receive such a great review for what was really a work in progress. It just goes to show.....
