About this Event

Hidden Door has been taking over abandoned spaces in Edinburgh to put on unique and award-winning multi-arts festivals for over a decade. In June 2026 we're going back to the Paper Factory for One Last Shift and are looking for volunteers to help! If you're interested and want to hear more, come along to Leith Arches on the evening of Wednesday April 15th. There'll be a short presentation around 7pm followed by a chance to chat to current and past volunteers over a drink aftewards and sign--up for anything that interests you.

Please reserve a spot to let us know to expect you!
