At The Venue, Eskmills in Musselburgh, we provide a warm, welcoming space where families and friends can come together to honour a loved one’s memory in a way that feels right for them.

Whether you are planning a traditional wake, a relaxed remembrance, or a more personal celebration of life, our flexible venue and compassionate team are here to support you every step of the way.

Our elegant indoor spaces can accommodate gatherings ranging from the small and intimate to larger groups of up to 350 people. From peaceful receptions to more personalised events with speeches, live music or memory tables, we’ll help you create
the atmosphere that suits your loved one. We have ample parking on site, so that is one less thing to worry about on the day.

In the warmer months, our Eden Garden offers a tranquil outdoor space for open-air remembrance and celebration — a unique and serene setting surrounded by greenery and peaceful ambience.

Food is often a comforting part of coming together. That’s why we work with a hand-picked panel of trusted caterers who can offer everything from traditional buffet spreads and afternoon teas to bespoke menus and plated meals — ensuring your guests feel truly looked after. We also have a fully stocked bar to cater for all of your beverage needs.

Our experienced events team understands how important these moments are. We’ll guide you through the planning with sensitivity and attention to detail, taking the pressure off so you can focus on what matters most — remembering your loved one.
