Tidelines Book Festival

Tidelines is North Ayrshire’s only independent book festival and we held our first events in 2013.

In 2014 Tidelines became a registered charity SC045075. We aim to cater for all age groups and many different interests, including fiction and non-fiction. In parallel with the festival we run a dedicated schools programme, bringing authors and their books to children and young people. In 2014 we held 32 public events, and brought 9 authors into schools.

Each festival is planned and organised by a team of enthusiastic volunteers.

We aim to grow the festival through appealing to a wide range of reading tastes, and to attract visitors to the splendid Firth of Clyde.
