Milngavie Book and Arts Festival

The fourth annual festival offers four days of musical, art and author-led events as well as school events attended by over 1000 children. Authors attending include Alasdair Alexander, Fiona Martynoga, Sue Peebles and Donald Nelson, plus there's a showcase from young publishers Cargo, a reading of Tove Jansson's Moomin stories for children, and music from acts including Them Beatles, The Rosie Nimmo Band and Blue Dubh. The last night will once again feature the 'Fish, Chip and Champagne Crime Night', which this time welcomes Mark Billingham and Christopher Brookmyre.
