Our 2026 Festival: August 22, 2026

While our festival will be more like a 'Mini Mudgee Readers’ Festival’ in 2026,
we’re still super excited to bring some amazing authors to town on Saturday, 22 August.

Our Story

Two people sitting on a bench reading books on a sidewalk with parked cars and flowering trees in the background, in front of a row of shops.

The Mudgee Readers’ Festival has been running since 2010, a huge achievement for a festival created by a small team of passionate readers, with the first modest events held in Lawson Park.

Over the years the Festival has gone from strength to strength, with an exciting line-up of events across our gorgeous town, including bibliotherapy sessions, storytelling events, book and wine matching and, of course, our Long Lazy Lunch.
