A Ten Day Celebration of Books in Scotland's National Book Town
Our flagship event, Wigtown Book Festival welcomes international audiences and a prestigious cast of authors each year.
Founded in 1999, the 10-day festival is now one of the UK's best-loved literary events. This year the programme has over 200 events and activities for all ages, including music, theatre, food and visual arts.
Every Autumn Wigtown, a town with a population of little over 1000, welcomes 13,000 visitors to the Book Festival
