FringeGuru's review of this venue

The Sweet venue chain's Grassmarket operation is housed a couple of function rooms in the Apex hotel. That makes for a slightly curious, if very pleasurable, pre-show experience, rubbing shoulders with business guests as you enjoy the leather seats and complementary newspapers in the reception area.

The performance spaces themselves are small but comfortable: rows of seats on tiers face a small, flat stage. The constraints of the venues, though, do limit the possibilities for performers. Let's be honest; shows here might well be enjoyable, but they're likely to be towards the am-dram end of the scale.

Where to get tickets for this venue

Here's where you can buy tickets for this venue.  See below the map for a key.

Understanding ticket purchasing options

You have different options at different locations shown on this map.

This venue:  You can buy tickets in person, or pick up tickets you've pre-booked through the venue's telephone line (0870 241 0136).  You cannot collect tickets you booked through the Fringe box office at the venue.

Other venues in this venue chain:  You have the same options as you do at the venue itself.

Venues in allied chains:  You can buy tickets in person.  Under some circumstances you can also buy tickets from allied venues over the phone, but FringeGuru recommends it is simpler to make telephone bookings directly with the venue itself.

Fringe central box offices:  You can buy tickets in person at the Fringe box office, or using free self-service Internet terminals at the e-ticket tent.  At either location, you can also pick up tickets you've pre-booked from the Fringe box office (0131 226 0000) or website (www.edfringe.com).  Tickets booked through the Fringe box office or website cannot be collected from the venue - only from the central box offices shown.  WARNING: FringeGuru currently recommends you DO NOT BUY from the central box office - click here to find out why.
