A Sunday Times bestselling author, chatterbox and poetry lover, Hollie returns with her much-loved, no-holds-barred poetry. Expect strong language, adult themes, and poems about love, loss, wolves, and warm morning croissants as she reads from her latest collection, Virgin.
She’ll be joined by poet and performer Michael Pedersen, reading from his magical new novel, Muckle Flugga.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
I have enjoyed taking part in events such as Scots Opera before we came to live in the area. Since then we have enjoyed both attending events and the splendid cafe In the foyer. It is a brilliant example of a local/regional community arts initiative and must not be allowed to falter.
