Event Details
We are excited to announce the inaugural Braemar Literary Festival, taking place from 7th-9th October 2022.
The festival is being held in collaboration with The Fife Arms, The Royal Reading Room and is co-curated by Genevieve Gaunt with support from Tom Parker Bowles, St Margaret’s and local cultural partners.
The Braemar Literary Festival aims to explore the creative use of words and text in their broadest sense; celebrating the works of bestselling authors alongside visual artists, spoken word performers, singer-songwriters, scriptwriters, critics, and publishers alike, reflecting the many ways in which the ’literary’ creatively enhances our lives.
The festival promises to be an exciting two-day event bringing together the Braemar community, Fife Arms’ guests, and literary lovers.
The current festival line-up includes:
Tom Parker Bowles in conversation with Angela Hartnett OBE and Jeremy Lee on the Art of the Cookbook
The Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room: ‘In conversation’ events with Sebastian Faulks and Kate Mosse
Ian Rankin OBE in conversation with Sam Leith, Literary Editor of the Spectator
