The Penicuik Arts Festival 2007 follows the success of last year’s Penicuik Arts Trail. It actively co-ordinates the arts events by Penicuik Community Development Trust, Penicuik Community Arts Association, other local organisations and individual artists and performers to coincide with Penicuik’s annual street fair and the nearby Edinburgh and Peebles festivals. We’ve put together a mixed program of exhibitions and events for all ages.  Contact 01968 672 706 or 677 854.  We’re grateful to Midlothian Council for support in putting Penicuik Arts Festival into the Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme.  And thanks to the more-than-ample generosity of local businesses and individuals, the printing of the Penicuik Arts Festival programme has now been paid for.
