Hidden Door Festival

About Hidden Door Festival

Hidden Door has announced a bumper programme of music, visual art, dance, theatre and spoken word as the festival returns to its full length for the first time since the pandemic.

More than 200 new and emerging artists will be showcased in the impressive surroundings of the Old Royal High School on Calton Hill from 9th – 18th June.

Audiences will be encouraged to explore the myriad of performance and exhibition spaces as they make their way through the building, discovering unexpected sights and sounds along the way. They could stumble on a poet in Pianodrome, dancers in the central debate chamber, emerging DJs in the basement, genre-breaking bands on the indoor and outdoor stages, and some of Scotland’s most exciting visual art in the building’s smaller rooms.
