Paisley Book Festival 2025 Day 2 Saturday
2025-04-26 | Renfrewshire
Guests and events announcement coming soon…
We’re living in an age saturated with ideas about how we should live, from what to eat, how to travel, and how much time to spend online, to how to connect meaningfully with our environment, and how to react in the face of world atrocities. Speaking to writers who have big ideas about navigating the most fundamental questions we face, and who embrace the opportunities they present, Paisley Book Festival invites authors and audiences to consider The Lives We Live.
2025 marks the sixth year of the Paisley Book Festival, which has gained a reputation as a festival that foregrounds bold ideas and radical thinking, showcasing the best in Scottish writing, platforming the voices and stories of everyday people, and supporting a burgeoning community of book enthusiasts in Paisley.

More local Renfrewshire businesses will take part in the festival than ever before including Two Towns Down who will have a bar in Abbey Close, Upper East Side and The Bungalow.
The Keg will also have a bar tent in Abbey Close with a brilliant range of bands playing live music for people to enjoy with a drink and a bite.

Visitors can expect to see returning festival favourites including ice-cream and churro bar, Loop and Scoop, Scozzese woodfired pizza, Lemon Squeezy and Fries Guys. While the Fizzbuzz prosecco van and Caribbean bar, Rum Shack are sure to offer a tasty tipple for the grown-up crowd.

Free charity event: Love Your Lawn event at Dobbies’ Braehead store
2025-04-19 10:30 - 11:00 | Dobies – Braehead / Glasgow store
Dobbies Garden Centres is hosting a very special free Grow How event in its Braehead store, beginning Saturday, in partnership with Alzheimer’s Research UK to mark Dementia Action Week (19-25 May).
The garden chain is highlighting the benefits of garden living for brain health and raising vital funds to find a cure for dementia through this free-to-attend workshop at the Glasgow store.
Gardening is a great activity to highlight this Dementia Action Week, as it’s a hobby that can help look after our brain health. Physical activity, learning new skills and keeping connected with others are just some of the things we can do to help reduce our risk of dementia.
May’s Grow How event, Love Your Lawn, will take place in the Glasgow store on Saturday 3rd May and Wednesday 7th May at 10:30am and 3:30pm, giving customers of all ages and gardening abilities the chance to learn something new or finesse their gardening skills.
These popular live Grow How demonstrations are flexible, fun and interactive, taking around 15 minutes. Dobbies’ Green Team will give a demonstration around lawn care, taking customers back to the basics and illustrating the importance of maintenance for a healthy lawn.
During the session there will be an activity centred around repairing a lawn with grass plugs, giving everyone the chance to give it a go. There will also be the chance to ask any questions relating to lawn care. The talk will be supported with a selection of general top tips and products such as grass seed, lawn feed and tools to keep your grass in tip top shape.
The Green Team at Dobbies’ Glasgow store will then share information on Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Think Brain Health campaign, which aims to educate people about the steps they can take to look after their brains and help reduce the risk of dementia. It’s focused on three simple rules – love your heart, stay sharp and keep connected. Lawn maintenance is a great task for keeping physically and mentally active through gardening and garden living.
