What’s on at Innerpeffray

The Library runs events throughout the year: exhibitions from the collection, talks and workshops inspired by the Library, and music and social events to raise funds for running costs and special projects. Find all the dates for your diary and a downloadable copy of our Footnotes newsletter on this page.

The Library is now closed for the winter season, but we have a great couple of months of events, including our Festive Fayre, Wreath Making Workshop and the Friends’ Carols for Innerpeffray. We reopen for visitors on 1st March 2025

2024 Exhibition – Travelling Tales

Our exhibition in 2024 celebrates visitors to the library over the ages, and books from our collections whose authors have wandered the wide world, both overseas and at home.

Although you can’t borrow books at Innerpeffray any more, all books in the collection and exhibitions are available to read, so please do ask if you have an interest in a particular subject. Only our very fragile books are exceptions to this and our guides are always happy to assist.
