Welcome to AccessEA

AccessEA was created by Edinburgh Academy to make our facilities and spaces accessible to everyone. 

Playing our part in the community is vitally important so AccessEA is both a new chapter in the life of the School and a way of opening up and sharing our two unique sites in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. Our Henderson Row and Arboretum Road sites offer a superb choice of traditional and contemporary venues for events and celebrations of all kinds, and we are proud to offer access to our state-of-the art sporting facilities and exciting learning opportunities with everyone who chooses to use them.

We are delighted to open our doors to anyone who wants to hire an event space, book a holiday camp or sports facility or learn something new. As a bridge between the Academy family and the wider community we will take all the best things about the Academy - the historic spaces, fantastic facilities, wonderful grounds and knowledgeable people - and make them work for you.

This site details the spaces available, the courses we are running and the sporting facilities on offer. But if there’s something else that you want - a combination of all three, advice on what might work best for an event, ideas for a sports club - then talk to the team and we can figure it out together.
