Performances and performers in the first week at the Futures Institute
The Book Festival seems thoroughly at home in its second year at the Futures Institute. The simple act of moving the entrance a few yards towards Middle Meadow Walk, together with vastly improved outside catering, has created much more of a buzz around the site.

Performance and discussion at the Futures Institute
The Book Festival closed its first year at the Futures Institute with the normal eclectic mix of events. The centrepiece of the second week as far as performance was concerned had to be Justified Sinner – New Myths. Writer Kirsty Logan, folksinger Kirsty Law and harpist Esther Swift came together for an intriguing combination of story, music and visuals.
