The Paper Factory is 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.
Hidden Door will transform the entire site for a full-scale multi arts festival in spring 2025, but in the meantime, we are planning a special launch party to give audiences a preview of some of the extraordinary spaces within.
Visitors to The Paper Factory are set to enjoy an utterly unique gig experience; a vast industrial space once echoing with the sound of heavy machinery, now reborn with live music, lights and projections.
Friday 22 November sees experimental electronica from Exterior, the heartfelt alt-pop of Paige Kennedy, post-punk edginess from Trout and the ever-evolving avant-electropop of Jane Weaver.
Saturday 23 November welcomes Black feminist punk band Big Joanie co-headlining with alt rock trio HotWax, with support from doom-punk quartet Witch Fever and Edinburgh duo Sarah/Shaun.
Alongside the live music, audiences can explore some of the huge factory spaces featuring the work of over 20 visual artists. A diverse range of media and artforms will be presented, including sculpture, performance, installation, painting, printmaking and large-scale works.
