Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival
By Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival | Posted: Thursday Oct 16, 2025
This weekend, the Festival Hub is your home away from home...
Whether you’re seeking a quick coffee between sessions, wanting to settle in for hours with a puzzle, or need a low sensory escape, this is your space. Browse the mini-bookshop & catch authors at the signing tables with the University Book Shop Otago, try your hand at zine-making and crafts, or pick up some pocket poetry.
Between 10am-2pm Saturday & Sunday:
Print your own bookmark on an Adana letterpress courtesy of Otago University Special Collections Hocken Collections University of Otago Library - Te Pātaka Mātauraka o Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka
Take the time to share your work and get friendly, peer-to-peer feedback from members of the Dunedin Writers' Workshop, a local group that is a mix of emerging and experienced writers.
We can't wait to see you at the Festival Hub Sat 18 & Sun 19 - The Dunedin Centre, Harrop St (off the Octagon - the same place as the Glenroy Auditorium!).
