We are very pleased to announce that we will have a headline sponsor this year, following a deal with Galashiels-based social enterprise Bookdonors.

Bookdonors is a not for profit social enterprise based in Tweedbank in the beautiful Scottish borders. The organisation trades in used books for the benefit of people, charities and the environment with 100% of sales used to fulfil a social mission. Bloody Scotland co-founder Lin Anderson visited Bookdonors’ Tweedbank hub earlier this month to help launch the company’s new website.

Bloody Scotland will benefit from a sponsorship package of cash and business support, enhanced by the New Arts Sponsorship Grant scheme operated by Arts & Business Scotland.

In addition each attendee to Bloody Scotland will receive a free book from Bookdonors at this year’s festival in September.

Save the date

Bloody Scotland in association with Bookdonors will announce the 2016 programme on Wednesday 1 June with tickets going on sale the same date. As a subscriber to our email newsletter you will be the first to hear about the authors and events at Bloody Scotland.
