Wild Words! Festival 2023
Our theme in 2023 was “Wild Words” and featured dramatic tales of Jacobite uprisings, writing inspired by the wild nature of Scotland, celebrations of poetry both local and national and even a chance for adults and children alike to let their imaginations run wild in our creative workshops.
