Baillie Gifford Schools Programme

We’re delighted to be welcoming young readers and writers from across the Scottish Borders for a great line-up of in person and live-streamed events at venues in Hawick. The programme is bursting with imaginative, lively, educational, and fun events for pupils from Nursery to P7, with some of today’s best children’s authors and illustrators. And this year, there are writing workshops for secondary school students too!
For those who are unable to join us in person, a selection of events will be live-streamed and available to view for free via our partners, Scottish Borders Council’s Inspire Learning team.
Many thanks to our Schools Programme sponsor Baillie Gifford, who will provide free books for each pupil attending our events in person.
Travel grants are available for schools who need assistance to attend our events in Hawick.
