2023 Scone Literary Festival

March 10-12, 2023

Our 2023 theme is Storylines, a narrative that underpins every story, however small, however personal, however big, however, political, however global.  A storyline, a narrative, is behind every literary work, and we’re exploring just this translates at the festival. We’re tackling big topics, of course, and they include crimes against nature; trauma and tragedy; power and consent, living in a post-pandemic world and the changing dynamics of politics. Our popular Bush Poet’s Breakfast will return with a difference as will the Merriwa Literary Lunch.

The three-day event also includes FREE community events – children of all ages and stages, senior citizens and workshops.
