About Summerhall Distillery
The Speakeasy Experience is a 60-minute immersive theatre and storytelling event at Summerhall Distillery on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Summerhall Distillery and open to audiences aged 18 and over. Guests whisper a secret password at the door and slip through a hidden entrance into a bar where the atmosphere evokes the Roaring Twenties, complete with smooth jazz and vintage glassware. The show is described as a time travel adventure rather than a night out. Tickets are £20, with a concession price of £17.50.
Why see this show?
The combination of a secret password, a hidden entrance and a Roaring Twenties bar setting makes this an experience rather than a performance — suited to those who want something more atmospheric and participatory than a conventional show.
