Thank you to our media sponsors Border Telegraph and Peeblesshire News

BORDERS Book Festival has announced another record year for ticket and book sales after the event was held over the weekend.

With record breaking ticket and book sales we enjoyed lots of sell-out events across the weekend.
There was plenty of good wine and good humour to be found in the tent where Helen McGinn shared her supermarket wine secrets! Our question is - if you were there, what did you think of the wines?

At the weekend we welcomed former first minister to the festival. She spoke about her book ‘Frankly’ to a sold out crowd - just one of many sell out events we had across the whole festival.

Did you attend across the weekend? Let us know who you came to see - and who you might want to see at future festivals!
