This year you will be able to watch two of our events online. The Caledonia Crime Collective will be chatting about the diversity of Scottish crime writing from 12 noon on Saturday 2nd October and Peter Geoghegan discusses his book Democracy for Sale from 3.30pm on Sunday 3rd October.

To view these events, simply visit this website at those times and you will find a link to watch. They will also be available to watch again later.

We know a lot of people enjoyed the online events last year and we did consider trying to do some more online this year. However, as a small, free, volunteer-run festival, regrettably we simply don’t have enough people to be able to comply with the Covid regulations while also trying to stream or film for later. The number of people allowed to attend each event is strictly limited and include the contributors, staff and volunteers. We are sure you will understand that we have had to prioritise everything we need to put in place to ensure the Festival can go ahead in person this year.
