The University of Edinburgh Hospitality & Events Collection - Pollock Estate

Pollock Estate is located in the vibrant Southside of Edinburgh and offers a range of venues and accommodation options that are ideal for corporate and association conferences and meetings.

We can host conferences for up to 300 delegates in the purpose-built John McIntyre Conference Centre with further meeting space in the characterful St Leonard’s Hall and the classic mid-century South Hall.  With two onsite four-star hotels, Summer Campus accommodation and extensive landscaped gardens, the estate offers a residential conference village environment within the city.

It is easily accessible on foot or by public transport from the city centre whilst also boasting electric car charging points and parking.
