Edinburgh’s abandoned former Royal High school is set to be transformed into the temporary home of the Hidden Door festival during a ten-day celebration of art, culture and music.
The striking Calton Hill building with its imposing neo-Grecian columns has lain dormant since the institution closed in the 1960s but will now host live theatre in the round performances in its historic debating chamber amongst a host of other events across the showcase in June.
An outdoor stage will also allow for productions to take place against the stunning backdrop of Arthur’s Seat, while a bar on the front terrace will give festival goers the opportunity to enjoy a drink with a scenic view of the Capital cityscape.
