First guests announced for 2020 festival

We are thrilled to announce that Helen Garner, Ash Grunwald, Archie Roach and Sally Rugg will be among 150 writers attending next year’s festival from April 3 to 5. Their timely books centre on the personal and political. The full program will be launched at a special evening event on February 20 and tickets will go on sale the next day. Stay tuned for more program announcements early next year. The festival team wishes you a safe and happy Christmas. May there be plenty of time for reading.
