Edinburgh's underground streets come alive with the sound of music and mystery
October 2014
For one week only, visitors to The Real Mary King's Close will be able to experience one of Edinburgh's best loved visitor attractions in a whole new light through an evening programme of music, drama, murder and dance.
Kicking off on Halloween, the spookiest night of the year, and running until 8th November, the underground streets once awash with the sounds of market traders, will be filled with echoes from one off special events featuring some of the best in home grown talent from musicians to actors to scriptwriters.
This year's Close Fest programme balances out entertainment and drama with history and humour and includes adapted productions as well as completely new works created just for Close Fest.
Claire Riddoch, Marketing Manager comments: "Lots of people know us for our tours but may not know us as a venue that's available for private hire, so Close Fest is about giving visitors an insight into the site's atmosphere, acoustics, darkness and intimacy and how this makes an event held here extra special.
"We also have a loyal fan-base who regularly recommend us to friends and family and are already familiar with our tours, so we wanted to give them a reason to come back and experience our site in a whole new way, be it through music, dance or drama."
Close Fest 2014 marks the second year that the event has taken place and is back by popular demand following the success of its 2013 debut.
