> The Kings Theatre
The Kings Theatre presents high quality drama, alongside dance, comedy and musical theatre. The King's annual Pantomime is an established tradition within the city.
The King's Theatre was opened in 1906 and stands on a prominent site on Leven Street in Edinburgh. It is one of Scotland's historic and most important theatres. It plays a vital role in today's theatre industry as much as it has done in its 100 years of service to Edinburgh theatre patrons.
The King's plays host to major touring drama, including West End, National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Shakespeare Company productions. The venue was built as a variety theatre in 1906 and over the years has played host to legendary performers such as Stanley Baxter, Rikki Fulton and Jimmy Logan. The 1350-seat venue continues to play a prominent role in the community, hosting the ever-popular King's pantomime and a number of productions from local amateur societies throughout the year.
The only parking available in the immediate vicinity of the King's Theatre is street parking. There is an NCP car park about 15 minutes walk from the theatre, towards Princes Street, on Castle Terrace (24 hours, 7 days).
