With just over two weeks to go until the 2023 Portobello Book Festival, here is an update about tickets. There are still plenty of tickets left and plenty of time to pick them up from Portobello Library. Remember all events are free to attend.

If you have tickets for an event and find you can’t come anymore, particularly if it’s for one of the fully booked events, please return them to the library so someone else can get the chance to come along.

If an event you wanted to go to is fully booked, it is always worth coming along on the day just before the event. We’ll let ticket holders in first of course but if there are spaces, you might get in.

Remember you can collect up to four tickets per event per person so if you have a friend who would find it difficult to get to the library to pick up a ticket, why not get one for them?
