Enjoyed by people of all ages, the Edinburgh International Book Festival has, from its inception, gone from strength to strength and now plays host to over 700 events in the city and Scotland. If you enjoy top notch debates and discussions with high profile writers and authors come and meet with them to exchange your thoughts and ideas. Your ideas for that work of fiction might find more than encouragement.
The Children's Programme runs parallel with general events so don't forget their participation. Incorporating workshops, storytelling, panel discussions, author events and book signings, this programme is popular with all ages and now ranks as the world's premier books and reading event for young people.
The home for the Book Festival is the beautiful and historic Charlotte Square Gardens, transformed into a magical tented village to welcome more than 2,ooo visitors. Here you can visit the Festival's own bookselling operation and remember to get your copy of that signed edition.
Opening Hours: Generally from 10:00 until late evening
