Thousands of people enjoyed Paisley Book Festival 2025 – with events including enthralling sessions with top Scottish writers and poets to family fun activities and an entertaining schools programme.
Thanks to all who supported us. It was a fantastic festival – and we’re looking forward to doing it all again in 2026. We can’t wait to see you there!
Fantastic event! Looking forward to next year’s
This event helps put Paisley on the map by attracting artists and writers from all over the UK.
An absolute tonic of a weekend Paisley Book Festival thanks for the invite and the warm welcome. We will be back.
Book lovers of the world, Paisley Book Festival is one to add to your calendars. I had the best sessions today, with the best staff, talking about books and creating stories.
It’s so good for kids to hear stories from real life authors about how they got into writing. This type of event could inspire so many kids to read more and start writing.
Huge thanks to all the volunteers who made the festival run so slick and made the performers and guests feel so welcome. Very well done PBF, you pulled a blinder!
