Welcome to the inaugural Big DoG Schools' Tour produced and delivered by Wigtown Festival Company with support from Baillie Gifford. Our first tour will take us the length and breadth of Dumfries and Galloway, from Stranraer to Sanquhar, Lockerbie to Langholm and Gretna to Gatehouse-of-Fleet between 7-11 November. Each participating school will receive a free class set of the visiting author's book (20 copies of one title to be used in the classroom) and children will be able to purchase copies at a reduced rate. To apply to host one of our fully funded author sessions, please complete this application form.
