Going West Writers Festival 2019
Featured Events
Join us for an afternoon of poetry, reading, scribing and drawing. Watch the talented Beach Tagger at work, carving poetry into letters scaled super large and visible.
Going West wouldn’t be going anywhere without our famous Slam, where courageous poets lay it all on the line to see who's got the chops to rise to the top and take away the big cash prizes.
Directed by Paul Gittins and performed by Gary Stalker, with an evocative soundscape by Jude Robertson, Ghost Trees is an affirming and engaging experience that delivers one man's insights into life, death and the remarkable intelligence behind it all.
Celebrate the launch of the Going West Writers Festival with Curnow Reader Apirana Taylor, Sir Graeme Douglas Orator Elizabeth Knox, and a breathtaking performance by the Bellbirds.
