Borders Book Festival 2027 Dates

The 2027 Borders Book Festival will take place on Thursday 17 - to Sunday 20 June.


After the record‑breaking success of the 2026 festival, it’s exciting to look ahead to what promises to be another brilliant weekend of celebration and ideas in the Scottish Borders

This is the region’s biggest annual cultural event, drawing visitors from across Scotland and beyond. As ever, I’ll be there and in the months leading up to the festival I’ll be sharing updates and local insights to help you get the most from your trip.

If you’re planning ahead for 2027, keep an eye on this page for programme and ticket news as well as ways to explore Melrose and the wider Borders during the festival weekend.
