4 weeks to the Edinburgh International Harp Festival!

EIHF tell us – Yes it’s true….
4 weeks from now, on Friday the 31st March, we’ll all be gathering in the stunning surroundings of Merchiston Castle School ready to officially open the Edinburgh International Harp Festival 2017. We can hardly believe it’s nearly a year since we met to celebrate all things harp, and we simply can’t wait to see you all again.

Tickets have been on sale since mid January, and although several courses have sold out, we still have places available on a variety of courses, in a fantastic selection of subjects and for various ages and abilities. If you’re yet to decide have a look below for some ideas.

If you’re planning to be at the festival right from the 31st March – 5th April we highly recommend you purchase a concert series ticket, which will allow you access to all 9 afternoon and evening concerts for just £96 (adult), £78.50 (conc.) and £52 (u16). Find out more information HERE.

We hope you’re getting to grips with our new booking system, eventbrite. We’ll be emailing everyone who has purchased a ticket (whether it’s for a course, workshop or concert) in the week running up to the festival to remind them on how the tickets will actually work at the festival.

So remember to book your tickets for all concerts, courses and workshops visit:
