NEXT SALON: April’s Easter Quiz Salon

Tuesday the 29th of April, 2025, 7pm, Live and on Zoom  

Since our April Salon falls in the Easter Season, we’re keeping our tradition of a ‘light’ quiz that may or may not contain easter eggs.

Our ‘tradition’ of doing something slightly silly at this time of year stemmed from the City of Literature causing a wee stooshie some years ago by holding an egg-and-spoon race! This year, we’re going to have a literary quiz, lasting a short time, and open for everyone whether in person or on zoom… sadly we can’t share prizes online but we hope it will be fun anyway.

We’ll be at The Outhouse again, and after the reception from 6.30, we’ll begin. We’ll livestream the quiz from 7pm, lasting around 20 minutes. There will be a short break so we can collect answers and allow folk to grab another drink, then announce the winner!

After quizzing there will be more time for literary mingling and conversation.

Timings:

6.30: Doors Open – reception in the Function Room at the Outhouse  

6.50: Open the Zoom meeting (details emailed to all ticket-holders)

7.00: Welcome, and Quiz

7.20: Short Break for adjudications

7.30: Winner announcement, and Prize!

Registration can be found on Eventbrite – it is free to register for all of our events.

Sadly, we are unable to offer a glass of wine on arrival, but we hope to re-continue this tradition in the future. 

We ask for donations and encourage people to buy us a coffee to help fund our work. If you can’t afford to donate, you are still welcome. Our two anthologies are on sale here, and books will be available to purchase on the night.

We look forward to seeing you in person or in the zoom-room.

Accessibility Notice

Edinburgh Literary Salon is open to all those with an interest in all aspects of Literature, whether professional or personal, and to all parts of the industry: writers, publishers, booksellers etc. All are welcome, and events have free registration. While we aim to hold some events at accessible venues, our regular salon is in an upstairs room at The Outhouse. For this reason, we aim to livestream most events. If there is a problem accessing zoom, we will do what we can to assist. We strive to ensure adequate audibility, and straightforward registration. We invite positive feedback on how we can improve, even within our limitations as a non-funded organisation. We welcome open conversation.
