Celebrate the Scottish way at Rosebery Steading

A great party venue near Edinburgh

Looking for a party venue near Edinburgh that’s more than just four walls and a dance floor? Rosebery Steading is a Scottish countryside retreat where celebrations stretch from morning to night, and every detail can be tailored to you. Dotted in the sprawling Midlothian fields, this exclusive venue offers charm, privacy, and plenty of space to celebrate in style.

Wonderful and Strange

An exclusive venue just for you and your guests 

At Rosebery Estates, we take great pride in hosting unforgettable events. Rosebery Steading sits right in the heart of the Midlothian countryside, surrounded by rolling rapeseed and wheat fields, ancient trees, and the occasional curious fox. Out here, your only neighbours are the wildlife. Bring in a live band, a DJ, or plug in your own playlist and dance beneath the beams until the wee hours.

When you book the Steading, the whole place is yours. Two beautifully restored barns, a private bar, and a spacious courtyard are ready for you to make your own. Yoga studio by day, dance floor by night; drinks in the courtyard, supper in the Threshing Barn. Truly your own private countryside haven.

Stay the night, stay the weekend

No one likes the party to end with a long journey home. With cosy on-site accommodation sleeping up to 28, you can wake up surrounded by the same good company you celebrated with. Our self-catering cottages are every bit as charming and characterful as the Steading itself, perfect for kicking off your dancing shoes and winding down by the fire.

Each cottage comes with a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for late-night chats over a sleepy cup of tea or a hearty breakfast debrief the next morning. With two-night event packages available for weddings, milestone birthdays, and corporate retreats, Rosebery Steading lends itself to celebrations that unfold at their own pace, because some occasions simply deserve more time.

Feast, toast, and dance the night away

No Scottish celebration is complete without good food and a dram to match.

Unlike other venues where you may be confined to one supplier, Rosebery Steading offers a panel of trusted, approved caterers, each with their own style and specialities. If you are planning an inherently Scottish shindig with ceilidhs, Highland games, and whisky tasting, a sit-down multi-course feast featuring the best of Scottish produce is the perfect way to end the day. If you are hosting a product launch or networking event, canapés are a great choice. You’re also welcome to bring in third-party food trucks or tasty extras, say pizza for lunch or ice cream trucks for dessert.

Of course, you’ll need drinks to accompany your carefully selected food choices. Our fully stocked bar sits conveniently beside the dance floor, making it easy to raise a glass while the music keeps going.
