OMNi Refurb: Visitor Guidance

OMNi is Evolving…

Big things are happening at OMNi… and we’re not just talking about a fresh coat of paint. We’re entering a period of transformation that will kick-start OMNi’s journey of evolution, with our community at the heart of the project.

Read the press release. 

What’s Changing? 

From June 2025, we’re rolling out a £5 million pound refurbishment programme with the aim of creating a fun and welcoming space for visitors to meet, relax and enjoy. Expect:

✨ Sleek new walkways and upgraded flooring throughout 
🚪 A bold, more visible main entrance 
💡 Brighter, energy-efficient LED lighting 
🛋️ Stylish new seating zones 
🏗️ Structural upgrades to create more inviting, social spaces 
🎤 An exciting future programme of live events and entertainment

Still Open. Still OMNi. 

We’re staying open as usual throughout the refurb, so your favourite brands, bites, and big-screen moments are still here for you, day and night.

Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at Café Barbera, catching a film at Vue, or battling it out at Boom Battle Bar, OMNi is still your go-to spot!

A Word from the Team

Martin Botha, our Centre Manager, puts it best:

“We are thrilled to announce our improvement plans for OMNi, a project that reflects our commitment to providing an exceptional experience for our visitors and a bustling environment for our brands.  
 
This transformation will bring exciting new features, modern amenities, a brand revamp and the introduction of live events and experiences, creating a space that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the 4+ million visitors we welcome each year.   
 
We’re on a mission to inject a sense of fun and excitement into everyone’s visit and at each brand touchpoint, whether that’s meeting up with friends before venturing out into the city or spending quality downtime in-centre, day or night. We look forward to embarking on this exciting new chapter and truly owning the title of Edinburgh’s top leisure destination.”

And from our owners at Triple B, Director Thomas Archer Bata adds:

“Triple B is committed to investing in OMNi to enhance the wider community and support the brands within. This refurbishment marks the start of a brand-new phase for OMNi; the physical enhancements, coupled with a new mission to integrate and connect further into the vibrant city of Edinburgh, will deliver a greatly improved and welcoming space for our visitors, whilst enhancing the overall customer experience.”
