Hidden Door – tickets available for next weekend’s party

Hidden Door has taken over its largest site ever at The Paper Factory at Maybury and is throwing a huge opening party next weekend.

Tickets are available here after the first release sold out.

There is music, artworks by around 20 artists, installations and performances to see on Friday and Saturday nights and there is a free entry afternoon on Saturday when you can have a look at what it’s all about.

After the weekend (see below for timings) there will be a bigger multi arts festival on the site in the spring next year. This is a 15 acre site so there is a lot of scope to use the buildings and the open space creatively.

Hidden Door is a volunteer-run charitable body and they could do with your help to keep going in this their 10th year. The organisation has opened up some of the most interesting locations in the city such as Leith Theatre, the Arches on Market Street (where the area is now developed into shops and retail spaces) and Granton Gasometer. These have all been “meanwhile” developments using spaces and buildings while the planning process winds its weary way through the permissions required to turn old buildings into something new for the 21st century.

The Gasometer is now being developed as the central part to a new public park in an area which will become home to thousands of families as thousands of new homes are built there.
