Your visit to the Edinburgh International Book Festival
A video guide of the Book Festival Village showing you what to expect when you arrive at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
The Book Festival takes place in Charlotte Square Gardens and on the west end of George Street in Edinburgh each August. This video has been produced to show you what the Festival looks like ahead of your visit, so you know what to expect, see the layout and facilities and can plan and prepare accordingly. Note that as our venues are temporary, small changes to the layout of the Book Festival Village are possible each year. For more information on visiting the Book Festival, see our Visiting web page. You can find specific accessibility information on our Access web page.
