Room Bookings

Need a space? Request a Chaplaincy room for your society or group.

Our priority is supporting University students and staff; bookings are accepted only if they do not disrupt daily operations.

Availability during semester:

  • Rooms at the Chaplaincy Centre, Bristo Square are open for bookings Monday to Friday 10am to 9pm.  Please note that the building opens at 9.30am but the first booking is from 10am.
  • The Chaplaincy Rooms at King’s Buildings are open for bookings Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm.  Please note the building is accessible 8.30am-5pm.  If you hold a University card, it is possible to have a code added which allows access the building outside of these hours. Please contact the Chaplaincy Bookings Coordinator to request out of hours access at chaplaincy@ed.ac.uk 

The Chaplaincy Centre is not available for bookings over the summer, as our spaces are all in use for the Festival.
