Featherston Booktown - tickets selling fast
It seems that every year, Featherston Booktown goes from strength to strength, and is surely making its mark along with its other international Booktown events in Europe, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
Booktown celebrates books, storytelling and ideas, and the artefact and craft of the book.
The word is getting out about this year’s rich line-up of events in our South Wairarapa town and already some events are sold out.
There’s so much to choose from – there's sure to be something to tempt you. How about a selection of horror stories told late at night, or learn how to write your family’s history, or even a session devoted to pets, our adored fur babies.
Kids can do some print and paper making, or turn a poem into prompt journal (8 years and older) with Emma Hinton. Carol Duffy has a free book reading where kids can make native bird stick puppets that are part of the story.
Tell your friends and make a date to head to a Booktown event and be educated, inspired and entertained.
