The popular literary lunch slot at the Winter Words Festival has claimed it's first sell out, with leading nature writer John Lister-Kaye's event at full capacity.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre's Head of Sales and Marketing Giles Conisbee takes up the story "It's great news although somewhat expected as JLK's previous appearance at Winter Words was also a sell out. If it's a unique lunch experience you're after, I'd recommend the traditional Dundee lunch, served in reverse, on Saturday 5th February, 1 pm. It's in honour of the Great Poet and Tragedian William Topaz McGonagall, and lead by award winning writer Norman Watson. With readings by the much loved, Perth based actor Martyn James, it's proving popular at box office so get in quick to secure your tickets." BOOK NOW

Other Literary Lunches of note during the Festival are the 100 Whiskies To Try Before You Die event with Whisky expert Ian Buxton. This three course Game and Whisky Lunch is Sponsored by Simon Howie, Butchers of Perth on Sunday 30th January, 1pm. Another fascinating highlight is sure to be the Political Wives lunch, with Judy Steel and Rosie Wallace on Friday, 4th February. A fantastic opportunity to get a close up insight into the lives of these two great minds!
