Her debut, The Flatshare, sold over a million copies and is now a major TV series. Her subsequent novels, The Switch, The Road Trip, The No-Show and The Wake-Up Call, were all instant bestsellers. A TV series of The Road Trip was first aired in 2024. Beth lives in the Hampshire countryside, and if she's not in her writing shed, you'll probably find her chasing a toddler, with a strong coffee in hand...About our chair: Rachel Wood is the founder of Rare Birds, a thriving independent bookstore in the heart of Edinburgh that was named “one of the coolest new bookshops” by the Sunday Times. As a former theatre kid, Rachel’s love of storytelling began on stage, but by the time she was a teenager she’d figured out it was much easier to write the lines rather than to learn them. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Rachel first moved to Edinburgh to pursue a masters in creative writing and has lived there ever since.Click to view more from this festival. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/the-name-game-with-beth-oleary-first-date-2026/100001987655536215 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Festivals, trips-adventures, Theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 6.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Great Hall, Nicolson Square Venues - **lat**: 55.9454205 - **long**: -3.185725 - **full address**: The Great Hall, Nicolson Square Venues, 25 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Name Game with Beth O'Leary [First Date 2026] - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e4dc3739a0427a2197dc63e2eb4efbf404c455c4bc5e52020ee042b076954d7e-rimg-w1200-h675-dcd85f74-gmir.jpg?v=1776381426 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Name Game with Beth O'Leary [First Date 2026] being held? - **A:** The Name Game with Beth O'Leary [First Date 2026] takes place on Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at The Great Hall, Nicolson Square Venues, 25 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Name Game with Beth O'Leary [First Date 2026]? - **A:** Tickets for The Name Game with Beth O'Leary [First Date 2026] are priced at GBP 6 per person.
