Join us for a special weekend of events celebrating the re-release of Guy McCrone's 'Wax Fruit' trilogy - a tale of ambition set in 1870s Glasgow.

Join us as we close our 'Wax Fruit' weekend with a book exchange. Bring some of your pre-loved books and exchange them for new reads, and learn more about Holmwood's history - make sure to be brave and explore the rooms of the house, where you may just discover some hidden pre-loved books waiting for a new home!

And thanks to the team behind the TV adaptation of 'Wax Fruit', you'll also be given the opportunity to experience a unique exhibition of the vibrant costumes from the trailer, read more about the vision for the TV adaptation, and get a peek behind the scenes of the trailer, recorded on-site at Holmwood.

Included in your ticket is a hot drink and sweet treat of your choice from our cafe.
