Nairn Book & Arts Festival

About

Nairn Book and Arts Festival is an annual celebration of literature, art, music, drama and film in the Scottish Highlands. Staged in the historic seaside town of Nairn on the beautiful Moray Firth, each year the festival presents a unique and innovative programme of events. The festival is committed to supporting community-focused arts, while providing a platform for writers, artists, musicians and performers from across Scotland and the UK. The festival runs for up to 9 days. A team of two part time staff, and a wider voluntary festival committee stage a range of accessible arts events across the town, including outdoor free family-focused creative activities, live music and performance. The festival is funded by a range of sources, from public funding bodies to grants from private charities , business sponsors, and a small Friends scheme, with additional funding raised by raffles, tombolas, and other fundraising activities.
