We’re delighted to welcome the Edinburgh International Book Festival to Greyfriars. 

This breathtaking collaboration between acclaimed poet Len Pennie and BAFTA-winning composer Paul Leonard-Morgan, which premiered at 2026’s Celtic Connections festival, blends poetry and spoken word with epic sound for a genre defying performance in the beautiful surroundings of Greyfriars Kirk. Tackling themes of love, loss, wonder, and rage, Delusions melds Pennie’s gut-punching words with Leonard-Morgan’s soaring music, performed on piano, strings, and electronica. No heart will leave unmoved. 

Tickets are available on the Book Festival website.
