The PC Bhurban Amphitheatre — A Distinctive Outdoor Venue
The PC Bhurban Amphitheatre is one of the most distinctive outdoor event venues in Pakistan — a cedar forest amphitheatre at 6,800 feet, with the cedar canopy as the ceiling and the mountain air as the ambient environment. The specific experience of a Qawwali evening or concert in this setting, in the cedar forest at Bhurban, is unlike any urban venue.
The Amphitheatre Setting
The PC Bhurban Amphitheatre is set within the cedar forest on the hotel grounds — the deodar cedar trees framing the stage and seating area. The open-air design means weather is a factor (events may be affected by rain or cold weather conditions). The cedar forest setting is the specific draw: performances in the amphitheatre have a natural acoustic quality shaped by the forest canopy, and the forest atmosphere — particularly at night with the cedar visible above the stage lights — creates the ambient character that no indoor venue replicates.
Types of Events at PC Bhurban Amphitheatre
Qawwali evenings: the traditional sufi devotional music form takes on specific resonance in the cedar forest amphitheatre — the night air, the cedar canopy, and the devotional music are a combination that has made Bhurban Qawwali evenings a sought-after experience
Cultural concerts: music and cultural performances hosted by PC Hotel for seasonal programming
Corporate events: team dinners and corporate programme events held in the amphitheatre format
