Other events included the Crazy Clay Creatures Workshop in Parkland Walk and a BMX track design session, and OmVed Gardens opened up to the public.
There is still lots to come all through this week at the festival, which is on until Sunday (June 27).
On Saturday a Keats Meets Coleridge Guided Walk will begin at Keats House, while on Sunday conductor Sir Mark Elder and stage director John Caird will be in conversation at Lauderdale House.
On Saturday, Ensemble Luce, the Highgate-based outfit who have Mozart, Schubert, Rossini and Beethoven among their repertoire, will perform at Highgate United Reformed Church.
