Word on the Street — Moves Online 22-24 October 2020 This year, Word on the Street, Dingwall’s annual literary festival, moves (for obvious reasons) off the street… and into your home via an impressive online programme. Now in its sixth year, this three-day extravaganza of readings, workshops, author talks, music, drama, comedy, walks and children’s events normally takes place in shops, clubs, halls and on the streets of Dingwall — a small town in the Scottish Highlands. But this year isn’t normal… Thanks to the magic of technology — everybody is Zooming or Teaming (other platforms are available) — we decided Word on the Street would move online too, as Word off the Street. The programme is presented over three days and twelve sessions and includes an array of novelists, poets, writers of fiction and non-fiction, a pair of blues musicians, a special kids’ section and even online wine tasting! Each session, whether about a Berlin Wall Art Gallery or Voices of the Windrush Generation, offers an opportunity to listen, chat and question our guests. Word off the Street is supported by the Highland Council and organised under the banner of Dingwall Players.
