Conference Dinner Venue

The BMLA 2022 networking dinner will be hosted at The Caves, a truly unique venue that makes up the sub-structure of the 18th Century South Bridge. There is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves, or more Scottish, if you consider there was once so much Whisky stored here that it became known as "Whisky Row".

The networking dinner will take place on Thursday, 26 May 2022, from 19:00. Expect a drinks reception, three course meal and Ceilidh band playing traditional Scottish folk music. 

This is an additional element that can be purchased during registration for £72 per person.
