Where too many books are never enough!
The Mudgee Readers' Festival has been established to celebrate the joy of reading. This is a 'readers' festival, not a 'writers' festival. We figure that everyone reads, but not everyone is interested in writing a book of their own.
Our Festival provides an opportunity to sit back and let the authors' stories wash over you, as well as a chance to put your own curly questions to the authors.

"Stimulating reflections on the art of writing with an informal intimacy the larger festivals
can't compete with. (And the location is a bonus.)"

Hugh Mackay's take on the 2011 Mudgee Readers' Festival

We aim to have something for everyone, with a wide range of authors and literature styles. We try to include a children’s author, a bit of history, something to challenge us and make us think, as well as simply great stories.
We strive to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable – audience as well as authors. The 2011 event was typified by lots of loud and sustained laughter. That has to be a good sign! |

The Festival includes presentations in an ‘in conversation’ format and panel discussions, as well as literary lunches and dinners. We set a fairly relaxed pace so there is plenty of time to include a glass of wine or two, as our logo suggests! Visit our Gallery pages for images of past events and information about the authors we have been privileged to host. |
