The highly anticipated spin-off from Five Bush Weddings will have readers falling in love with footy, fashion and fabulous 1960s flashbacks.

Love Match beautifully and brilliantly combines contemporary and historical timelines, exploring the history of deb balls, country dances and the beauty pageants of the 1960s when Mabel shares her memories with Sarah.

Ultimately, Love Match is a romantic comedy about finding your place in a small town and figuring out who you are.

We’re looking forward to welcoming Clare to Ballarat, why not come along?

Staged in partnership with Collins Booksellers on Lydiard.

This event takes place on Wadawurrung Country. The Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work, learn and create. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
