About This Event

The Witching Hour Livestream will feature Mairi Kidd, Marion Gibson and Steven Veerapen discussing witch-hunts of the 1600s. It takes place at Partick Library in Glasgow on 20 August 2026. Entry is free with no ticket required.

At a time when women’s rights are once again at threat across the world, it’s perhaps no wonder that our fascination with the witch-hunts of the 1600s still burns bright. Today, we’re joined by Mairi Kidd (Newes of Witches), Marion Gibson (Witchland), and Steven Veerapen (Witches: A King’s Obsession) – the authors of brilliant new books that touch on themes of paranoia, moral panic, and obsession. What can our witch-hunting past warn us about the world of today? Chaired by David Greig. This is a livestream event from the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
