About This Event

On 7 August 2026 at 1.30pm, Lauriston Castle in Edinburgh will host MagicFest, a theatrical performance that artfully blends illusion with the castle’s own storied past. Three expert magicians guide audiences through the building’s secret passages and hidden chambers, using sleight-of-hand and mind-reading to animate its history. The show features world-class card magicians and mentalists who draw upon the site’s unsolved mysteries as part of their routines. The performance unfolds in the intimate, atmospheric setting of the castle itself, making the building an active participant in the narrative. Ticket prices are listed on the event website.
