About Hidden Door Festival 2025
Hidden Door is taking over the biggest venue to date. Running from Wednesday 11 to Sunday 15 June, the festival will feature five full nights of music, visual art, dance, spoken word and everything in between.
An arts organisation which aims to open up forgotten urban spaces as a platform for new and emerging artists, musicians, poets, theatre and film-makers, Hidden Door has been held in several disused spaces and venues around Edinburgh since its establishment in 2014, all of which have revealed hidden or forgotten parts of the city. Previous locations include an abandoned underground vault, a hidden courtyard and an old theatre.
Filling the space with music, film, art, dance and poetry, this diverse festival is a celebration of all artistic pursuits. Contemporary artists rub shoulders with some of the UK’s best alternative performers and musicians – meaning you’ll find something fascinating around every corner.
