Discover unsolved mysteries within one of Edinburgh’s hidden gems.

Hidden away at the end of a winding driveway, Lauriston Castle remains one of the city’s most enchanting secrets — a treasure trove of timeless tapestries, rich décor and whispered tales of secret chambers, strange experiments, and the extraordinary lives of its former residents.

This Christmas, three expert magicians breathe new life into those stories through spellbinding illusion, mind-bending sleight-of-hand and a touch of mischief. Discover the castle’s hidden corners as each performer reveals a chapter of its mysterious past — from noble tricksters to doomed inventors and fortune-seekers who gambled everything on a dream.

Set against the castle’s breathtaking Edwardian interiors and panoramic views over the Firth of Forth, The Secret Room is an unforgettable journey into history, wonder, and imagination.

Featuring card magician Lewis Barlow, mentalist Cameron Gibson, sleight-of-hand artist Tim Licata (19 Dec only) and magician-inventor Luke Osey (20 Dec only).
