Midlothian’s Outdoor Festival 2024
This year’s Midlothian Outdoor Festival will run from Thursday October 3rd to Monday October 7th. As we have done for a number of years the Esk Valley Trust will host a Festival opening Zoom talk on Thursday evening 3rd October.
The programme of events for the Festival can be found here.
This year’s opening talk will be given (by Zoom) by James Simpson on ‘Mavisbank House and the Villas of the Esk’.
James is a very well known architect who has helped with restoration projects at many of the ‘Villas of the Esk’ .
He is a leading advocate for the architectural heritage of the Esk valleys. His talk will use the concept of the ‘Villa’ (as envisaged by Sir John Clerk in ‘The Country Seat’) to reflect on Mavisbank House and other major Villas in the Esk Valleys.
The talk will start at 7.30pm and is free to all. To register for the talk click here.
