EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Join us as we celebrate the joy of words – written, spoken, sung, and illustrated.

The Book Festival can be found at Edinburgh College of Art, Lauriston Place, from 12-28 August 2023 and entry is free to the Festival Village.

This year, there’s an incredible line-up of great writers, thinkers, and award winners. With over 500 events there is something for everyone – there’s a fun-packed children’s programme, one off outdoor events, events with famous faces, and events with debut writers.

The Festival feeds more than your imagination, the ECA Café offers everything from breakfast to dinner, and is open until 10.00pm. There are other spots to eat and drink outdoor, so no matter the weather, you can stay and soak up the atmosphere. The Festival Village is the perfect spot to meet friends and family or find a quiet place to read a book you picked up from the on-site bookshop.

The Book Festival programme launches on 14 June 2023, where you can find the fantastic array of events on offer. Pick up a copy of the programme or go online at edbookfest.co.uk for more information and to book tickets.
