Borders Book Festival Highlights

The Borders Book Festival is alive and buzzing at Harmony Garden in Melrose, featuring heavyweight speakers like former PM Gordon Brown, Olympic champion Eve Muirhead, and prize-winning authors competing for £25,000. With free shuttles from Tweedbank Station, it’s easy to get there—and the lineup is packed with unforgettable stories: from an all-female orchestra in Auschwitz to The Beatles’ roots, AI’s impact, and personal triumphs like Neil Francis overcoming a stroke to write six books. Plus, political reflections, radio plays inspired by Orwell’s wife, and Dan Richards’ deep dive into the hidden world of night life. Whether you’re local or afar, this is a must-see event for thinkers, storytellers, and dreamers alike. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
