Scone Literary Festival 2025

Buckle up for the most inclusive, hands on Literary Festival ever!  We’ll be focusing on sustainability – sustainability of self, others, community, and the environment.

There will be workshops, panels, community activities and even some movement classes around sustaining self and creativity in tough times.

Businesses won’t miss out with workshops on how to sustain connection, build skills and engage in a world full of digital noise!

We’ll be hearing from seasoned authors on how they’ve sustained their craft through leaner times and how they’ve managed to sustain a livelihood through the written word.

We plan to refresh community connections, refresh your creativity and entertain with 3 days full of fantastic events for the lovers of words in all their forms.

Stay tuned for updates as we lock in authors, podcasters, copywriters, lyricists and wordmakers of every form.
