Wild Writers Festival

The Wild Writers Festival returns to Peebles this winter with an expanded, five-day programme that radiates out from the town’s Eastgate Theatre and also includes elements of adventure stories and film. At its heart, however, remains a celebration of the variety of writing that focuses on an appreciation of the natural world, with a refreshing mix of established and up-and-coming authors, including Helen Mort, Derek Gow, Kat Hill, Leif Bersweden, Jen Scotney and many more all sharing their ideas, influences and inspirations.

With a format that sees a mix of readings, meet-the-author sessions and signings, Q&As, panel discussions and lively solo presentations, this warm, welcoming event is a perfect antidote to any winter blues! For programme details, visit the Eastgate website.
