We’re thrilled to announce that the Pentlands Book Festival (PBF) is back for its eleventh year — and it’s shaping up to be one of our best yet!
The 2025 programme is now live on our website, featuring an inspiring line-up of authors, workshops, and literary events for readers of all ages. You can explore the full programme overview online and start planning your festival experience today.
Free Tickets Available Now
Tickets for all PBF events are free, but booking is essential. You can secure your tickets directly through our website or in person at Currie and Colinton libraries. Be quick — places are limited, and they go fast every year!
Each event has its own dedicated page on our website. Simply click on the author’s photo to learn more about the event, read the author’s bio, and discover what makes their session special.
