Welcome to The Signet Events

The Signet Library is Edinburgh’s best kept secret - located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, The Signet Library is an unique and outstanding venue.

Steeped in history, The Signet Library is an impressive building. Described by King George IV as “the finest drawing room in Europe” the building was finished in 1822 to a design by the architect Robert Reid, famous also for designing the Bank of Scotland building in Edinburgh as well as for being the last King’s architect in Scotland in 1840. As then, The Signet Library is still owned by The Society of Writers to Her Majesty’s Signet (known as the WS Society) – a society of solicitors who, like their predecessors, cherish and guard the building for future generations.

As well as a working law library supporting the work of The WS Society, The Signet Events is the ultimate events experience. Whether for a formal occasion, an intimate dining experience, a corporate function or a private event, The Signet Events prides itself on delivering excellent experiences for its clients within this versatile and flexible venue.

Situated in Parliament Square on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile adjacent to St Giles cathedral, The Signet Library is located within walking distance of Waverley station, Edinburgh’s largest mainline station. In addition, Edinburgh’s International Airport is a 20 minute taxi ride away.
