The historic setting of New Lanark will host its first ever Book Festival from Thursday 1st – Sunday 4th October 2015, with a host of well-known Scottish authors, such as Alistair Moffat, speaking at the 4-day event.

There will be a rich programme of sessions on offer designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of literary tastes, the themes of which all have a link to New Lanark in some way. From Scottish Fiction and History, to Whisky, Food and Drink – there will be a session for everyone to enjoy!

The sessions will run on Thursday & Friday evenings, and throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be a variety of reasonably priced ticket options available including a ‘4 day pass’ and individual author session tickets. Children under 12 go free to sessions when accompanied by a paying adult. (excludes 2 x childrens sessions on Sunday)

Book Festival visitors can also recieve 25% off tickets to the award winning New Lanark Visitor Centre, giving them the perfect opportunity to explore the history of the site. (Offer valid from 1st - 9th October 2015)
