Hidden Door Festival

Edinburgh’s grassroots arts festival, Hidden Door, will transform a huge abandoned industrial site this June for another ambitious and unique multi-artform experience.Responding to the vast complex of forgotten warehouses, factory floors, offices and outbuildings, this year’s Hidden Door festival programme is built around the theme of The Last Shift with every weathered surface becoming part of an artistic reclamation.This year’s programme will feature artists from visual arts, dance, poetry and spoken word, music as well as different fields of artists working together on shared projects.

Guests will be able to delve deep into the many rooms, corridors, nooks and crannies of the vast building to explore these various collaborative artworks for themselves.Taking place at The Paper Factory, this 15.5-acre site was occupied by the former Saica paper and cardboard manufacturing facility on the western edge of Edinburgh.

The site features a mix of warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses.

The venue is well served by a variety of public transport links, with frequent bus, tram and train services all stopping nearby.As always, the festival will be free to explore during the daytime, with tickets on sale for the 6pm evening line-up.
