When Storm Amy put a halt on all of our Saturday programme in October, we began looking at moving our events around. This was no easy task. Some of our events, such as the Billy Kay and Robyn Stapleton evening, Meet the Books and Write Difference with UHI Scribblers have all now been postponed until NBF 2026.
Our final outstanding event is the Poetry Slam. We are so delighted to find a date that ALL of our original contenders could attend, even if it slightly makes it’s way into January (but January is cold and wet and dark so a fabulous Slam to cheer you up, is just what you need!).
This event was already sold out in October but we are expecting a few returned tickets due to the date being rescheduled. If you have tickets already, then you don’t have to do anything special as your tickets are still valid. If you are on the Wait List for tickets, an email update will be sent out when tickets become available again. If you have tickets, but find that you now can’t make it, please use the Manage Ticket function to return them on the link below.
