Edinburgh's Kings Theatre reopens

The King's Theatre in Edinburgh, originally built in 1906, closed after the 2022 Edinburgh festivals for a major refurbishment project, and is to reopen in time for the 2026 festival season.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Fiona Gibson, CEO of Capital Theatres, the company that owns the King's as well as the Edinburgh Festival Theatre and the Studio Theatre, about the refurbishment, the new and upgraded facilities, the support they have received from government, arts organisations and the public and the final preparations currently taking place for opening the doors to the public on Thursday 23 July 2026.

For more information about all events, see the Capital Theatres web site, or Edinburgh International Festival for events in the festival programme.
