Byron Writers Festival 2025

Next date: Friday, 08 August 2025 | 08:30 AM to Sunday, 10 August 2025 | 05:00 PM

Byron Writers Festival is returning to Bangalow Showground on 8-10 August.

The 2025 program presents a heavyweight line-up of Australian and international writers who will explore the important themes shaping our world.

From celebrated novelists, memoirists, poets and essayists to leading political commentators, academics and activists, the program promises bold and wide-ranging conversations spanning social justice, politics, the environment, crime, mortality and human connection.

With the theme ‘Passion and Purpose’, the festival invites audiences to engage with more than 160 writers across three days of thought-provoking panels, in-depth discussions, debate and intimate conversations. In addition to the main program, the Byron Writers Festival will feature an array of workshops, a dedicated children’s program and special feature events.
