Mansfield Traquair

Wedding reception- beautiful venueWould give a fifth star if they got a dedicated sound engineer in to sort the audio. It’s a massive church built for choirs. If they’re going to have weddings there they should probably get someone to figure out how to make amplified music sound halfway decent in the space.

Jaw dropping....awe inspiring....versatile, soaring space....Mansfield Traquair has earned the mantel of “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel” and oh so much more.It’s so much more than unusual or special… it is absolutely unique. The remarkable conjunction of herculean labour on the part of the artist, the brilliant colour and the soaring spaces have led to the building being called “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel”. From the grand neo-Romanesque architecture, to the truly exquisite murals of Phoebe Anna Traquair that adorn the interior walls, its absolute grandeur and beauty have made Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh’s most spectacular, surprisingly versatile and flexible venue.Having undergone painstaking restoration to preserve and restore Mansfield Traquair to its former glory, it is now recognised as a vital piece of Edinburgh’s architectural and artistic heritage. Today, one of this utterly fabulous building’s most unique features is its sheer versatility. Events here are spectacular from the very second you arrive. You can’t fail to experience a sharp intake of breath when the cavernous spaces make their first impression. You’ll wonder at the intrigue and beauty of the murals, the magnitude of the stone, and the sheer majesty and sense of occasion will complete your descent into a state of adulation.Conveniently located at the eastern edge of Edinburgh’s New Town, the Mansfield Traquair Centre, fondly known as Mansfield Traquair, is ideally situated for most guests. However, brushing practicality aside, it is upon entering through the magnificent doors for the very first time that the impact of this venue makes its mark. Your guests will be astounded and intrigued by the wonder and majesty of “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel”, the inspirational Mansfield Traquair.Mansfield Traquair is the perfect wedding venue, private party or corporate event venue.

A beautiful building that's suitable for all sorts of events.

A rare opportunity to see this maaterful work of art. So much detail over vast dimensions, no wondered it is called: Edinburgh's Sisten Chapel. Tours available

Can't recommend highly enough. Exceptional service from all hardworking staff at our friends wedding, and the dinner service was run with military efficiency. Beautiful setting, and the walled garden is a great wee suntrap. For such a big place it still has a convivial and intimate feeling.

Fab venue, beautiful architecture and great location. I particularly like that the original decoration is maintained and lit to enhance its beauty.

Great venue. Good food choices. Excellent staff. Just be careful of the last step. I wish they could take that off. Lifts to every floor making it disability friendly. Wish they also served teas and coffees.

A beautiful venue that's available for all manner of events including weddings. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The venue has an enclosed garden too. The location is excellent, within a couple of minutes walk from tram stops and near great little bars and restaurants.

This is an incredible building with a remarkable story to tell. Only open once per month to the public but is open daily during the Fringe from 10.30 to 12.30. Incredible architecture by George Rowand Anderson and amazing murals painted by Phoebe Anna Traquiar. A must see for locals and visitors alike. A very knowledgeable and interesting guide also explained the history and art works very well.

Very impressive church. Masterpiece of architecture. Beautiful venue for many different events. Very convenient central location. Great place for socialising!
