We are delighted to support one of the most talked about events at this year's Edinburgh Festivals. NVA's Speed of Light brings Arthur's Seat to life in a mass choreographed act of walking and endurance running. There is still a chance to catch it before Sat 1 September, with NVA offering Paths for All associates 2-for-1 tickets.
"We had the most amazing time last night, a unique and magical experience."
Walking participant
As a member of the walking audience you become part of the work, carrying portable light sources set against the dark features of the hill. A mesmerising visual display unfolds each night on your ascent to the summit as hundreds of runners wearing specially designed light suits take to the intricate path networks below. Each individual performance is created by collective action, landscape and weather, offering a rare perspective on the cityscape, night skies and the sea and hills beyond.
To book 2-for-1 tickets - just quote NVASOL21 when booking at www.eif.co.uk/speedoflight, by phone on 0131 473 2000 or on the door.
