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.
With your support, we can ensure that Headland Writers Festival  remains an unforgettable and inclusive experience. Your generosity helps us offer free and accessible events, elevate regional and First Nations  voices, and nurture bold, thought-provoking storytelling.
