Open Book Festival | Events that bring together readers, writers, publishers and more to engage in meaningful conversations. | Open Book Festival is an organisation that brings the local literary scene to life. With three engagements each year we target the youth in surrounding schools; aspiring writers through workshops; and end off with our main festival - three days of talks, panels, showcases and a marketplace. Over the years we have welcomed hundreds of writers and audience members to be part of meaningful conversations exploring some of the challenges we face as global citizens.
