Summary
A large exhibition hall at Ingliston near Edinburgh Airport. Main Hall 5,000-person capacity. From £10,500/day. One of Scotland’s largest available hire spaces — suited to large-scale commercial shoots, conventions, and productions requiring substantial clear-span floor area.
About this location
Lowland Hall is a large event and exhibition facility at Ingliston, near Edinburgh Airport and the Royal Highland Showground site. The main hall at 5,000-person capacity represents some of the largest indoor hire space available in Scotland — a clear-span industrial hall environment used for exhibitions, conventions, and large-scale events. At £10,500/day the rate reflects the scale: per square foot this is competitive with any comparable large industrial hire space in the UK.
For film and commercial production, spaces of this scale enable vehicle photography, large set-builds, full-scale commercial productions that cannot be accommodated in standard studios, and broadcast events requiring audience accommodation. The Ingliston EH28 location is 6 miles west of Edinburgh city centre, adjacent to Edinburgh Airport — a practical consideration for productions flying in crew and equipment. The site has substantial parking. The Pavilion space at 350 capacity and £3,500/day gives an alternative scale at the same venue for productions that need a large space without the main hall’s footprint. Film permit likely required given the venue scale and management requirements.
