Hidden Door Festival kicks off 9 Day Long Cultural Celebration

The old Streetlighting Depot in Kings Stables Road, Edinburgh is host to yet another of the Capital’s festival experiences offering a choices of visual art, music, film and theatre.

The hotly tipped London act, Lone Lady headlined the music programme, while Macbeth in Silence - performed by Ludens Ensemble and The Lower Depths by Siege Perilous provides drama. Festivalgoers can enjoy navigating the intriguing labyrinthine site containing room after room of artwork. Several specially designed bars selling some of Scotland's finest craft beers and ciders offered a welcome pit stop.

As David Martin, founder and creative director of Hidden Doors says "I'm really proud of what all the contributors to Hidden Door have put together for this year's event. I feel that we've done justice to what surely has to be one of the most spectacular venues Edinburgh has ever seen. To have sold out our first day already shows that the people of the city are really up for this sort of thing".

The Hidden Door Festival which runs from 22nd to 30th May opens at 12 noon and is free until 6pm when it becomes a ticketed event.
