Birnam Book Festival 2026
Legends, Lore, Stories and Song
23-25 October 2026
at Birnam Arts
The Birnam Book Festival showcases literature from Scotland and beyond in our beautiful corner of Perthshire, nestled among hills and woodlands by the great River Tay. From William Shakespeare and John Ruskin to Beatrix Potter, this area features strongly in literary history, and also captivates contemporary authors, poets, songwriters, and artists.
Our book festival is an inclusive event for all ages, with workshops, lively discussions, inspiring authors, and great music. A warm welcome awaits you.
Birnam Book Festival is a volunteer run community festival. The committee thanks you for your support and patience and we look forward to welcoming you to Birnam Arts on 23 – 25 October 2026.
