Something For Young People

Festival in our Schools – Bringing the Arts to local Pupils

During Festival Week, the St Duthac Book and Arts Festival Group offers visits from talented authors, artists and musicians to local Secondary and Primary Schools, all free of charge.

Schools around the Easter Ross Peninsula become vibrant creative hubs where enthralling storytelling, creative writing, art workshops, live music and illuminating author and artist talks take place. All paid for by your generous donations at Festival events and support from the Scottish Book Trust. Thank you.

Visiting schools this year are authors Gerda Stevenson, Scott Kyle, Rebecca Marr, playwright Dave Smith and artist Evie McCutcheon. Also visiting the Gaelic classes will be Carrie Forbes, while musician Henry Fosbrooke will visit St Duthus classes.

Thank you to all our funders in 2026: Balnagown Estate: Beinn Tharsuinn Community Windfarm Fund (accessed through Kilmuir and Logie Easter Community Council, Edderton Community Council and Tain Community Council): Birlinn Ltd: Saraband Press: Glenmorangie Distillery: Global Energy Group GEG: Kier Construction Community Wishes, and Scottish Book Trust. Thank you to DUFI ART for the beautiful brochures, posters and banners. Thank you also to all the businesses who have donated a raffle prize or placed an advert in our brochure, your continued support is much appreciated. Thank you to Councillors, sponsors, contributors, collaborators, local businesses, schools, venues and individuals who support the Festival in all sorts of ways. Finally, to all the volunteers who turn up, stand at stalls, staff the Pop-Up Bookshop, bake, sit on the committee, sell raffle tickets and do a hundred other things, a huge thank you, this Festival would not exist without you!
