Stories & Scran - at Edinburgh International Book Festival 2020

The Open University in Scotland is pleased to support this free online event as part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2020. 

Join an evening of food and entertainment, hosted by the Book Festival's Citizen Writers in Residence, Eleanor Thom and Leyla Josephine, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival's Stories & Scran event. 

With live readings, audio recordings and a film created by Citizen participants, the community meal will showcase the insightful and thoughtful work of local people from North Edinburgh and Musselburgh.

The Book Festival's community partners Scran Academy will cook and deliver a free meal to those joining the event within an Edinburgh or Musselburgh postcode.

If you're watching from further afield, the Book Festival can provide you with an ingredients list and recipe card, so that you can recreate the meal at home to eat with them during the event.

To book a free meal, or receive an ingredients list and recipe card, email citizen@edbookfest.co.uk. This event is also supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery.
