Berry Writers' Festival

The Berry Writers’ Festival returns to town from 23 – 25 October 2026, bringing a weekend of stories, ideas and imagination to the heart of the village.

A much-loved fixture on the local calendar, the festival will once again gather writers, thinkers and readers for a rich program of conversations, insights and creative exchange. Alongside the familiar elements audiences return for each year, the 2026 edition promises a fresh energy, with new team members, a renewed vision and a few unexpected additions set to inspire.

Set against Berry’s charming streets and welcoming venues, it’s the perfect excuse to plan a weekend away, settle in with a good book, and be part of a vibrant literary community.
