Edinburgh International Festival Opening Event

Pinwheel is delighted to be producing the Opening Event at Edinburgh International Festival 2024 with Principal Partner The Macallan.

The Opening Event 2024 marks a new chapter in Edinburgh’s festival tradition. Responding to the overarching festival theme of "‘Rituals That Unite Us’, and inspired by the richness of Scotland’s history, mythology and landscape, we will welcome audiences to an iconic location to experience, and share in this spectacular new production.

More information coming soon, and for now see Edinburgh International Festival.

“It is a privilege and a thrill to collaborate with two such iconic organisations to create a new, transformative moment in Edinburgh’s festival calendar.  We will be drawing on the richest source material as inspiration for the opening event which will speak to the values of both Edinburgh International Festival and The Macallan to bring a new story and a new ritual to Edinburgh audiences.”
