Winterwords

Winterwords is five days of talking, listening, watching, and doing which aims to foster the celebration of words.

Attend a panel discussion or an author talk, participate in a workshop, listen to, or tell a story, go to a film, listen to a band, sing at karaoke, see an art exhibition, share some poetry, play some word games, chat in the pub by the open fire, it’s so much more than a writers’ festival.

Events take place in many of the wonderful heritage and civic buildings such as the Beechworth Town Hall, the Beechworth Library, the Old Railway Station, Oregon Hall at Quercus, and lovely old pubs.

Activities such as the art exhibition, kitchen table conversations, and play readings are run in collaboration with other community organisations such as the Mayday Hills Arts Society, The Beechworth Theatre Company, and Quercus Beechworth. With so much to do over five days in winter, Winterwords is truly a unique event.
