ZOO Venues runs two thriving and diverse temporary theatres - boasting five performance spaces between them - at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2011.

Our original venue ZOO (venue 124, 140 The Pleasance) houses two atmospheric studio theatres in church buildings just beyond the Pleasance Courtyard, and is a hotbed of new theatre and an ideal environment for seeing smaller-scale dance and physical theatre at close quarters.

Over the road at ZOO Southside (venue 82, 117 Nicolson Street), the majestic Main House focuses on our celebrated programme of international dance and physical theatre. It's a venue of contrasts though, with the Cabaret Bar and Studio downstairs focusing on comedy, music and theatre, plus an exotic array of evening events and a photography exhibition. ZOO Southside's outdoor Patio Bar is also an ideal location to while away time between shows.
