The Edinburgh International Book Festival has run since 1983 and now stages more than 600 events across 16 days. The 2026 theme is Changing Your Mind, with a line-up that includes Maggie O'Farrell, Ann Patchett, Ali Smith, Colm Tóibín and this year's International Booker winner Yáng Shuāng-zi. Most of it happens at the Edinburgh Futures Institute on Lauriston Place, with the Front List series filling McEwan Hall at 1pm daily and Greyfriars Kirk joining as a venue for the first time. There are more than 150 events for children and families.
