About the Organisation


The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings leading and emerging Scottish, UK, and international authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences through an extensive programme of public events, including conversation, interactive activities, and performance.

The Book Festival takes place in person in Edinburgh but has a significant digital offering to reach authors and audiences around the world.


The Book Festival has a reputation as a powerful forum for the public to exchange views with writers and experts on a wide range of issues: social, ethical, and political as well as literary and cultural.

At the heart of the Book Festival's activity is an integrated approach to creative learning and education, with the aim of expanding participation in democratic discussion, fostering a love of reading and developing engaged, knowledgeable audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

About the Role


The Box Office comprises the Manager, Supervisor, Schools Booking Coordinator and increasing numbers of sales staff in the run-up to the Festival.

The Box Office can be very busy - during the Festival staff can work long days during a six-day week on a rota.

The Box Office operates on the Red61 ticketing system


The August Box Office team are based at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, where we operate a box office counter and a telephone room.

During the Festival the Box Office is usually open 09:30-21:00 daily but occasionally stays open later depending on the timing of the last
