Better Off Said: Eulogies for the Living and Dead is a spoken-word salon celebrating words, stories and human experiences. Is there someone still out there in the world waiting to hear an important message, or a time in history you wish you’d used your voice? Now is the opportunity to leave no verbal stone unturned. To find closure. To sing truth from the rooftops before it’s too late.

Festival guests Ali Cobby Eckermann, William McInnes, Jim Moginie, Steph Tisdell and Leo Vardiashvili will speak to the phrase “The words I wish I’d said” and deliver a Living Eulogy to someone or something still of this earth, to celebrate the best in our lives while we’re here to hear it. 

Hosted by Emilie Zoey Baker. 

Produced by Marieke Hardy.

Our Festival Bar will be open from 4pm. We will also have a light meal and snack options.
