Now in its sixth year, the Tobermory Book Festival returns to celebrate Mull’s reputation as an island book capital. Over two inspiring days, join us in Scotland’s most beautiful small town to hear from superb speakers, enjoy lively discussions, and savour the very best of Highland food and hospitality.
The festival is organised by Hugh Andrew and Lesley Graham, Hugh Raven and Jane Stuart-Smith, Duncan Swinbanks, Frances Sutton and Sue Penny — a team dedicated to bringing together writers, readers, and the community in a warm and welcoming setting.
We look forward to welcoming you this October for what promises to be another highlight of Scotland’s cultural calendar.
