Hidden Door is a volunteer-run charity putting on multi-arts events in disused or unusual spaces around Edinburgh.
We’re delighted to confirm that our 2025 festival will take place from Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th June 2025.
The announcement follows a successful venue launch party last month. The November event showcased a fraction of the site, featuring live music, visual art installations and pop-up performances.
The June 2025 festival will open up yet more of this huge site making use of the various warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses. Throughout the year, the site will also be transformed into a creative hub featuring studio, workshop and community spaces.
A limited release of Early Bird tickets is now live.
Hidden Door is a charity and all ticket sales go straight into putting on our events and ensuring all of our creative contributors are fairly paid.
We are thrilled to be taking over of a huge industrial site for our 2025 arts festival and November’s venue launch party.
We’re calling it The Paper Factory because it’s a huge former paper and cardboard box manufacturing facility, with a mix of warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses spread across a 15 acre site.
The Paper Factory is well served by a variety of public transport links, with frequent bus, tram and train services all stopping nearby, making it easy to reach us from anywhere in the city or beyond.
