Palmerston Place Church, Edinburgh

We look forward to welcoming three Christian Theatre Companies to our Palmerston Place venue this summer.

This year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe will soon be upon us in August and we have three Christian Theatre Companies performing in our Palmerston Place venue. Each company will bring something different, thought provoking, dramatic, funny and entertaining! We again look forward to opening our church doors to welcome as many people as possible who book tickets for shows or buy tickets on the door, or simply want to coming in look around, chat, and grab a cup of coffee or tea. Tickets for all of the shows can be booked via the Edinburgh Fringe Box Office online or from the High Street. There will also be a Box Office in Palmerston Place on dates of shows with limited tickets available on performance dates.      Week 1     Wed 12th – Sat 15th August                 DROPS-making waves through the arts Week 2     Tues 18th – Tues 25th August              Searchlight Theatre Company Week 3     Thurs 27th – Sat 29th August               LAMPS Collective  DROPS—making waves through the arts   Performing Bloomin’ Church!

This year, Searchlight are taking eight productions to Edinburgh, including a brand new show ‘Holmes & Watson: Rathbone & Bruce (and a Hound)’.   If you would like to have free access to all the Searchlight performances at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe, then buy the Searchlight Fringe Pass for just £24. If you purchase tickets from the Fringe Box Office, individual tickets cost £15 (Concessions £13:50), so as soon as you’ve seen two shows your pass has paid for itself.   Once you’ve purchased, you will receive a confirmation email, and all you need to do is bring that email with you to enjoy all the Searchlight shows in Palmerston Place. Searchlight specifically limit their sales at the Fringe Box Office to allow for at least 100 Fringe Pass holders at each of our performances – but if we ever did reach capacity – entry would be based on a first come, first served basis for Pass Holders.   · Eric Liddell: The Chariot of Fire (1hr 15mins) – Tue 18 & Wed 19 Aug at 17:15 · Titanic: The Last Hero & The Last Coward (1hr 10mins) – Tue 18 & Wed 19 Aug at 19:15 · 1917: The Woodbine Poet & Padre (1hr 10 mins) – Wed 19 & Thu 20 Aug at 14:15 · Holmes and Watson: Rathbone and Bruce (and a Hound) – (1hr 5mins)- Thu 20 Aug at 19:15, Fri 21 Aug at 17:15 & Sat 22 Aug at 12:15 · The Screwtape Letters by C.S.
