The Edinburgh International Book Festival is to move to a new venue this year as it adapts to operating in a pandemic.
The festival will take place in the indoor and outdoor spaces of the Edinburgh College of Art on Lauriston Place from August 14 to 30.
Organisers are planning a range of live online author talks, workshops and readings, and, if circumstances permit, some events for in-person, socially-distanced audiences.
The festival is moving from the usual venue in Charlotte Square as organisers say they do not know how many tickets they will sell for in-person events and therefore cannot justify the costs of tents and other infrastructure they normally put in place.
