The Scone Literary Festival is a community-led celebration of writing, reading and ideas held every March in the picturesque Upper Hunter region. The festival unites readers, writers and thinkers for a lively celebration of ideas, energising discussions, creative workshops, inspiring storytelling and meaningful opportunities for emerging writers. Festival events include author talks, workshops, school programs and the highly regarded Patrick White Oration, which welcomes a distinguished speaker to Scone each year. Warm, welcoming and proudly regional, the Scone Literary Festival is a place where conversations thrive, authors connect with audiences and the community comes together to explore the power of literature in a truly spectacular setting.
