Hidden Door

Today I spent the afternoon at Hidden Door - a festival that’s held annually in disused spaces in Edinburgh.

This year’s festival is at the Old Royal High School (aka New Parliament House), which was proposed as the location of the Scottish Assembly in the 1970s - it was refurbished and a debating chamber was made in the old school hall but it was never used. The chamber is being used as a performance space during the festival (main pic).

Another space has been converted into the Pianodrome - a hundred seater amphitheater made of old pianos.

Extras - more of the chamber, the Pianodrome and a few exterior shots…
