The city's Storytelling Festival launches itself into the Warrnambool winter with an event to delight and enchant. Guests are welcomed with bespoke cocktails to kick off a convivial, mixer-style social evening, filled with live local music and an array of entertaining treats.

Come and celebrate with us. As well as being the launch event of the 2026 festival, this special evening is a joyful way for us to mark a beautiful new beginning for the festival's brand. Join us as we share a delicious grazing supper from Nook on Hopkins, partake in Plot Twists (our 2026 signature cocktails) and revel in some special guest appearances - including a surprise performance.
