Summerhall launches its Spring programme of events and exhibitions

One of the challenges at Summerhall is finding work to fit our amazing spaces. We love it when artists and audiences walk in, and their eyes widen when they see the inner architecture of this wonderful old vet school. But sometimes we have to think creatively to make things fit. This spring, though, you start to see just some of the range of things we can host at any time of year: from the spectacular sprawl of Enlightenment Café’s ‘Deadinburgh’ to the intense music and film focus of’Reel Iraq’.
