One of the Fringe’s largest venues has closed amid an amber weather warning.
The Pleasance Courtyard announced it would be closing around 12pm today.
The courtyard initially cancelled shows at The Green this morning, one of the performance spaces in the venue.
The Tab understands that staff aim to reassess the safety conditions of reopening at 4pm.
One Edinburgh local who had planned to visit the courtyard today said: “I had my whole day planned around this show and now i can’t go.
“[It’s] such a shame for the performers too.”
Pleasance Courtyard is one of the largest venues at The Fringe, featuring 18 performance spaces and 7 bars.
The bars and courtyard spaces are operated by the Edinburgh University Student’s Association (EUSA) while the performance spaces are managed during the festival by Pleasance Theatre Trust.
EUSA and PTT have been approached for comment.
