Push the Boat Out

Push the Boat Out is an award winning festival with a growing year round presence, and a unique and vital part of Scotland’s arts ecology. Fresh, vibrant and innovative, it strives to increase the diversity of poetry in Scotland – in form, cross-artform pollination, the voices platformed and those who feel welcomed as part of our audiences and participants.
This year’s festival runs 20-23 November, with some pre-festival events, and sees us dropping anchor at one of Edinburgh's favourite venues, the Pleasance.
