As the Edinburgh International Book Festival begins, its director says online audiences and guests will remain important.
Edinburgh International Book Festival Director Nick Barley said there was no going back to the old ways
Since the early 1980s, the festival has operated from a site constructed every year in Charlotte Square Gardens in the west of the city's New Town. It grew each year and in 2019 welcomed 900 writers from 60 different countries.
The new Edinburgh College of Art venue has three broadcast studios, two of which can accommodate limited audiences. Mr Barley said the largest of the theatres had a reduced capacity of 100 and the smaller one could seat 60.In the courtyard, the festival is creating a "village green" where audiences can watch a number of the live events on a big screen.
