IDDD 2026

International Dorothy Dunnett Day (IDDD) 2026

Saturday 14th November 2026

1pm Local Time around the Globe

Every year, on the Saturday closest to the date of Dorothy Dunnett’s death, Dunnett groups around the world raise a toast to the Lady who started it all, and to absent friends.

The 16th International Dorothy Dunnett Day will take place on Saturday 14th November 2026, wherever Dunnett fans gather together. At 1:00pm your local time, raise your glass for a toast, “To Dorothy and absent friends.” This year we also celebrate the 500th birthday of Francis Crawford of Lymond, Comte de Sevigny.

All are welcome, whether you’re in the Dorothy Dunnett Society or not. All you need to qualify is a love of DD’s books (partners are welcome too)!

Want to plan, host or attend a gathering? Email iddd@ddsoc.org for more information, fill out this Coordinator Interest Form, or look for the gathering closest to you in the list below, which we will update as events are planned. Watch this page for news as it happens. Don’t see a local option? Start your own!

Anywhere two or more Dunnett fans get together on November 14th counts as an IDDD gathering: in your home, at the local pub, in a library, even online. Tell us about your IDDD plans if you’d like to invite others nearby to join you. Share on social media. Tell everyone you know about Dorothy Dunnett and her books. Remote video gatherings are of course very welcome.
