Frock IT! is a writer's party with a fashionable twist!

In conjunction with the Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival, this is a Social function for writers and readers to mingle.

The event includes platters of fresh, local cuisine, entertainment, dance party music and great deals on the cash bar.

Be entertained between sets with well-known performance poets and stand-up comedians.

Word and music loving adults and youth are all welcome.

Our 2020 event won The Project's Best Event in their "Whip Around" challenge!

About Dunedin

Dunedin is New Zealand's only UNESCO City of Literature, so it's where writers come to read, write, learn, eat, play and stay. It’s also the home of the Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival, which brings local, national and international writers to Dunedin to celebrate words, stories and ideas.

If you plan to stay a few days on either side of Frock IT! - we'll share our local secrets of the most stunning beaches, endearing wildlife, historical architecture, fantastic bookshops and mouth-watering restaurants.

Need a place to stay? No problem. Look After Me will look after you.

We're both an events and accommodation network, so we know safe and comfortable places to stay in Dunedin. Make a note in the comments, and we'll send you separate information about bed and breakfasts, homestays, self-contained units, holiday houses or lodges suitable for writers coming to this event.
