Stephen Begg, Events & Activities Manager

Stephen has over 20 years’ experience working in some of Edinburgh’s most prestigious hotels and venues including The Dome and The Printing Press. Stephen will manage your corporate or private event from the initial meeting through to the event itself. His favourite thing about working here? The pace and the variety.

Gillian Heath, Food and Beverage Manager

Gillian joined Restoration Yard following an outstanding 19 years working at The Dome as their Deputy General Manager and latterly General Manager in Edinburgh’s city centre. Leading The Kitchen at Restoration Yard team, Gillian is passionate about delivering the highest standards of service. Her favourite thing about working here is the beautiful drive down into the park as she starts her day; watching out for deer and driving past the majestic palace always make her happy to work in such a beautiful place.

Thea Griffiths, Weddings & Events Coordinator

Thea joined Restoration Yard in 2019 as our wedding and events business increased. Thea helps clients create their dream events, providing guidance and helping run with new ideas. Thea’s favourite part of her role is having the time to sit down with clients and discuss their plans. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach here which helps make an event at Restoration Yard so special.
