About the Organisation

The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings leading and emerging Scottish, UK, and international authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences through an extensive programme of public events, including conversation, interactive activities, and performance. The Book Festival takes place in person in Edinburgh but has a significant digital offering to reach authors and audiences around the world.

The Book Festival has a reputation as a powerful forum for the public to exchange views with writers and experts on a wide range of issues: social, ethical, and political as well as literary and cultural. At the heart of the Book Festival’s activity is an integrated approach to creative learning and education, with the aim of expanding participation in democratic discussion, fostering a love of reading and developing engaged, knowledgeable audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

About the Role

During June the Box Office handles the Friends Advanced Booking weekend and the opening day of sales to the public. Once tickets are on sale, the role will be focussed on assisting customers making bookings through our website and handling any telephone sales or enquiries. Working closely with the Development team, there will also be sponsor and stakeholder bookings to process. In addition, you may be required to assist with publisher, author and other complimentary tickets.

In August the Box Office team relocates to the Festival site at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. There will be a box office counter and a phone room. Additionally, staff may also be asked to work on our digital events as a chatroom moderator. During August the Box Office opening hours are anticipated to be 09:30-21:30 daily, and staff work on a rota. Occasionally the box office may stay open later depending on the event schedule.
