If you have been having a look through the programme for this year’s Portobello Book Festival and noting down the events you would like to see, then NOW is the time to get yourself down to the library! Tickets are available from today, exclusively from the library in Rosefield Avenue.

Tickets, which are all free, can only be collected from Portobello Library in person. When collecting tickets, you are restricted to four per event per person.

One exception to this is the Nicola Sturgeon event where tickets are limited to two per person. For security reasons we are required to take names and contact details and a list of attendees will be created. These will be stored securely and destroyed after the event. No large or bulky rucksacks or bags will be allowed – bags A4 size or under are allowable. Please note that there will be NO tickets available on the evening of the event. Admission to this event is strictly those on the list of attendees. Doors will open at 7.15pm and there will be no admittance after the event begins.

Library opening hours are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 10-8pm and Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am-5pm.

If you have tickets and find you can’t use them, please return them to the library. There are usually places available for events on the day. So if you have missed out on tickets for an event you really wanted to see, it’s worth coming along just before the event in case there any spaces.
