Support the Headland Writers Festival

Headland Writers Festival is a celebration of storytelling, literature, and ideas, held on the breathtaking headland at Tathra. Rooted in Yuin Country and held on Djirringanj land, the festival brings together writers, poets, and thinkers to spark conversations, challenge perspectives, and inspire audiences. It is a festival with a deep connection to place—one where words meet the sea and stories shape the future.
