New Words
Festival of New Writing
in Aberdeen and
North-East Scotland
New Words (previously Wordfringe) was North-East Scotland's innovative
festival exploring the spoken and written word in performance, with events taking
place in venues in Aberdeen and towns and villages throughout Aberdeenshire. The
festival was held annually from 2006 until 2012, then again in 2014, but withdrawal
of local authority support has meant the festival has had to be suspended for the
time being.
The New Words festival was part of North-East Scotland's autumn season of performing
arts festivals.
