Your Event at the Palm Houses

• Following a major restoration to safeguard one of the world's most significant living plant collections, the historic Palm Houses provide an extraordinary setting for private events at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

  Comprising two magnificent 19th-century structures of glass, iron and sandstone, these iconic spaces offer a rare opportunity to entertain guests within one of the city's most remarkable botanical treasures.

  Beneath soaring glass roofs and elegant arched windows, natural light illuminates a living collection of more than 600 palms, ferns and rare plant species. Surrounded by lush foliage and framed by exquisite Victorian craftsmanship, guests are immersed in an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate, where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.

  Ideal for an intimate drinks’ reception, the Palm Houses offer a truly distinctive backdrop for an unforgettable experience. As day transitions into evening, the glasshouses take on a magical quality, creating an immersive environment that inspires conversation, connection and lasting memories amongst some of the world's most important living collections.

  Elegant, unique and steeped in botanical heritage, the Palm Houses provide a venue unlike any other in Edinburgh, delivering exceptional experiences within a setting that captures the beauty, wonder and diversity of the natural world.

  Let us help you plan your unique event.
