OMNi Nears Completion of £5 Million Transformation...
Edinburgh’s great-value leisure and entertainment destination, OMNi, is adding the finishing touches to its fresh new look as the £5 million pound refurbishment enters its final stages - signalling the start of an exciting new chapter for the much-loved city centre destination.
The refurb project has delivered significant enhancements to the public realm with the aim of creating a more welcoming space for visitors to meet and enjoy. Improvements include new flooring throughout the centre, an upgraded and more visible main entrance, modern LED lighting, new seating zones, and extensive internal structural improvements.
OMNi is on a mission to get Edinburgh to meet more and enjoy more. With a renewed focus on community and connection, the revitalised OMNi aims to become the go-to spot for affordable fun, and meeting point for everyday moments in Edinburgh, from morning coffees before exploring the city and family meals after a day out. We’re excited for everyone to experience the newly refurbished entertainment destination for all.
The refreshed centre marks the start of a new chapter for OMNi and brings with it a programme of planned and surprise enlivenment and events into 2026 and beyond. To celebrate new beginnings, OMNi is hosting The Big Meet on Saturday 2 May - a free event designed to bring the people of Edinburgh together and give back to the community.
The Big Meet will bring a burst of feel‑good energy to the centre between 11am and 5pm. OMNi brand ambassadors will be surprising visitors with complimentary coffees, meals, cinema tickets and other treats, while brands offer up one‑day‑only deals. Guests can also take home a personalised sketch from a live illustrator, along with a few extra surprises along the way.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the local community, OMNi has donated a significant £180,000 over three years to the University of Edinburgh’s Access Edinburgh Scholarship programme, which supports students from low‑income backgrounds. The funding will aid 30 undergraduates, with each scholar receiving a total of £3,000 per year. This is funded equally from OMNi and the University, to help students with personal and academic costs.
At Triple B, our ambition is always to enrich the lives of the communities we serve. OMNi is especially meaningful to me, having studied at the University of Edinburgh and seen first-hand the role it plays as an important social hub for the city. Its transformation reflects our commitment to creating a welcoming place for the local community to come together and enjoy accessible, affordable fun. We’re proud to build on that by supporting the University of Edinburgh’s Access Edinburgh Scholarship programme, helping students focus on their studies without financial strain.
