      Pollock Estate

      A conference village in the city where delegates can breathe and make the most of the outdoors.

      Located in the vibrant Southside of Edinburgh and nestled on the edge of Holyrood Park - a city space unlike any other with dramatic hills and crags shaping Edinburgh’s iconic skyline.

      Pollock Estate, which can host conferences for up to 300 delegates, has three dedicated conference and event venues – the purpose-built John McIntyre Conference Centre, the characterful St Leonard’s Hall, and the classic mid-century South Hall. With two onsite four-star hotels, Summer Campus accommodation and extensive landscaped gardens, the estate offers a residential conference village environment within the city. It is easily accessible on foot or by public transport from the city centre whilst also boasting electric car charging points and parking.

      COVID-19 Measures

      The health and safety of our customers, delegates and staff is our number one priority, and we are committed to delivering clean and safe environments which is why we have introduced CONFERENCE AND EVENTS PROTOCOLS.
