An Evening with Matt Haig at Freemasons' Hall

We're really looking forward to welcoming Matt Haig back to Edinburgh for the Scottish launch of his latest novel, The Midnight Train, as he'll be joining us at Freemasons' Hall on George Street on Monday 25th May! The Midnight Train is a magical, time-travelling love story, from the world of the number one Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling The Midnight Library.

Doors due to open at 7pm ahead of the 7.30pm start time.
Books for Book & In-person option will be ready to collect on the night. There will be a book signing following the conversation.

About The Midnight Train:

When your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop?

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there.
The chance to re-live the moments that meant most.
To see what kind of person you really were.

For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life. On his honeymoon in Venice. Before he gave it all away.

He wishes he could go back and live differently. But to do so risks everything.

Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.
