Paisley Book Festival 2025 Day 2 Saturday

Guests and events announcement coming soon…

We’re living in an age saturated with ideas about how we should live, from what to eat, how to travel, and how much time to spend online, to how to connect meaningfully with our environment, and how to react in the face of world atrocities. Speaking to writers who have big ideas about navigating the most fundamental questions we face, and who embrace the opportunities they present, Paisley Book Festival invites authors and audiences to consider The Lives We Live.

2025 marks the sixth year of the Paisley Book Festival, which has gained a reputation as a festival that foregrounds bold ideas and radical thinking, showcasing the best in Scottish writing, platforming the voices and stories of everyday people, and supporting a burgeoning community of book enthusiasts in Paisley.
