august 13, 2020 - Edinburgh International Book Festival
Welcome to the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2020 Online
Welcome to the Book #festival Online
As we can't put on our usual 900+ #Event #festival in our lovely tented village in Charlotte Square Gardens, we've curated a special online edition. From 15-31 August, enjoy Events for adults and children for free. Through the magic of technology, we’ll be crossing continents and time zones to beam Events from more than 30 countries straight into your home. What’s more, you’ll be able chat with fellow #festival goers via digital chatrooms and take part in Q&A sessions, and you'll even be able to meet the author and get your books signed (selected Events).
All Events are free and available to watch here on our website. See Events below, 'save your place' and we'll email you a reminder just before the #Event.
Online #festival dates:
