The Edinburgh Society of Organists
SFO Conference 2026
8-9 May 2026
The Edinburgh Society of Organists looks forward to welcoming you to the 64th Annual Conference of the Scottish Federation of Organists, to be held in the very heart of the city on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th May 2026.
Edinburgh is easily accessible by train, as well as air. All 3 Conference venues are within easy walking distance of each other and of the main train station (Edinburgh Waverley), and the tram provides easy access to the city centre from the airport.
Hotel accommodation in Edinburgh is not cheap; however, there are a number of Travelodges within the city centre offering reasonably-priced accommodation (c£105-130/pn). There is also a Youth Hostel called Edinburgh Central Accommodation within a mile of the city centre, as well as a variety of AirBnB options available.
Parking within the city centre is limited and expensive, but there is excellent, frequent public transport available.
We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh in May.
