The Church Hill Theatre, which was originally Morningside Free Church was built by the Edinburgh architect Hippolyte Blanc (1844 - 1917), renowned for his buildings in the Gothic revival style.

Run by the Assembly Rooms, it is a popular venue at the Edinburgh Fringe and it is also the home to many of the city's amateur theatre companies. The theatre reopened in August 2006 after extensive refurbishment to the public areas including the foyer, café bar area and installation of a new extension.
