Everything that you need to have a first class Bute Noir 2025 can be found right here on our substack.
We’ll be emailing you whenever we have an update for this year’s festival - new authors, line-up changes, sell-out warnings etc. This will increase to weekly (maybe a couple of times a week, depends what’s afoot!) as the festival weekend approaches, but you can easily unsubscribe from the mail list from your inbox if it all gets too much.
We will be returning to the elegant Glenburn Hotel again in 2025. You can book a room HERE. We have a tab on our website called Our Venue for you to explore more about this Victorian gem (including how to get there).
Clear your diary for Friday 1 August through Sunday 3 August 2025 - that’s when it’s all happening here!
We’ll send you updates straight to your inbox with details of the 2025 line-up and you can phone or call in in-person to secure your tickets for the weekend. But don’t hang about - we expect to sell out as we have done in previous years! We will also have details on our substack website page too and will provide a link to it for you so that it’s on your phone when you’re on the go.
And once the programme has been announced, you can book your tickets via Print Point on 01700 503389 (or call in, in person).
We will also share details of our cancellation policy.
What can you expect from Bute Noir 2025? There will be a full weekend line up with some of the biggest names in crime fiction from Scotland and far beyond. We look forward to sharing our unique 2025 Special Events as well as our regulars. Why not come and cheer on your favourite author as they take to the putting green on Saturday morning for the ‘prestigious’ Brookmyre Cup. Well, it’s more of a mug, to be honest.
So, start planning for your weekend Doon The Watter! We look forward to welcoming you to The Glenburn Hotel in August for Bute Noir!
Craig, Karen, Anne & Alison
