The Edinburgh International Harp Festival begins this week on Friday 10 April! Check out their Come & Try Harp – FREE Drop-in Sessions

The Edinburgh International Harp Festival begins this week on Friday 10 April, bringing together hundreds of harp players and enthusiasts from around the world for a vibrant programme of concerts, courses and workshops celebrating the harp.

This year, the festival is also offering FREE drop-in “Come & Try Harp” sessions at its venue at George Watson’s College.

Come & Try Harp – FREE Drop-in Sessions
Sat 11th & Sun 12th April, 1.30pm – 2.30pm, Festival Foyer

Do you know anyone who wants to try the harp? Led by our festival tutors and helpers, we’re hosting our first free “Come and Try Harp” drop-in sessions in the festival foyer, kindly supported by The Clarsach Society.
With a relaxed and informal atmosphere, these sessions offer a welcoming chance to get hands-on with the harp. No experience or per-registration is needed.
