Edinburgh International Book Festival
The temporary, tented village at Charlotte Square's Georgian garden, in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, is the venue for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The Festival brings writers, poets, thinkers, politicians, photographers and artists from 40 different countries to debate, discuss, argue and inspire.
Access to the venue is free, with paid special events. On a sunny day, the tented village is a good place to stop for a coffee and settle in for a read.
