what's a pend?

In Scotland, a pend is a passageway that leads somewhere beyond. Ours leads from the Royal Mile to a room built for ideas, for Edinburgh's creatives and the travellers passing through.

A private screening room in the middle of the Old Town. Watch the film you want, play games, or run a session. It's all yours for the booking.

wednesdays.

Every Wednesday, we hand the cinema room to one Edinburgh creative company, group or community. Free of charge.

Space in this city is expensive. We'd rather the room was used by people who genuinely need it, so it stays open to the work that's still taking shape.
