The 2011 festival featured 195 events over 10 days. Preparations for the 2012 festival are underway. The 2012 festival will run from 28th September to 7th October. We hope to see you there.

Wigtown, Scotland’s National Book Town, is a book lover’s haven. With over quarter of a million books to choose from, old and new, it is impossible to escape empty-handed.

Relax, unwind and take time to visit some of our other treasures while you are here. Situated between the central belt of Scotland and Ayrshire to the north, Cumbria, Northumberland and the Lake District to the south and Ireland to the west, this patchwork of green fields, rugged coastline, moorland and mountain is also home to a rich cultural life.
