Edinburgh International Book Festival is the largest public celebration of the written word in the world. Every August, this much anticipated festival brings around 1000 writers and thinkers together from across the planet to rub shoulders with their audiences.

With something for everyone, the Festival offers creative, joyful and interactive experiences, no matter your age or interest.

Blackford is delighted to be sponsoring Ian Rankin’s Criminally Good Fiction event on Tuesday 20th August. Always entertaining, Ian Rankin will mark the paperback launch of his latest Rebus novel, In a House of Lies, with an insight into Rebus’ imaginary Edinburgh underworld and will hint at ‘what’s next’ for the detective.

The Box Office opens at 8.30am on 25th June. To book your tickets for Ian Rankin, or any other Book Festival event, visit https://www.edbookfest.co.uk to log-in in advance and be ready to book your tickets and celebrate the written word with us.
