Our breakfast sessions have always sold out. Authors, tea, coffee, local produce and scintillating conversation to start the day… what’s not to love?

What are you hoping to see return to #MRF this year?

[Mudgee Readers' Festival @MudgeeReaders]

We can't wait to see everyone this August!

Before we begin releasing updates and program previews, here's a word from our new general manager:

#Mudgee author Summer Land reflects on extreme Covid Panic Cleaning in the new 2020 Visions piece.

On the weekend that would have been the Mudgee Readers Festival 2020, I long for the fun, humour, intelligent conversation and human interaction that the experience provides. Four years ago, ⁦@samishah⁩ was a highlight. 🤞2021 ⁦@MudgeeReaders⁩

'On a day like this, you could almost forget that things are not normal, and haven’t been for quite some time.'
The first 2020 Visions piece is now online! Rehearsal for Disaster, written by @Squawkingalah, illustrated by @TravisHDeVries. Available here: https://t.co/wWeKP2sgJd

We may not be able to put on a festival for you this year, but we can still share stories. Announcing a new project: 2020 Visions is a series of e-zines, four short works by regional writers and artists living through these unsettling times. https://t.co/wWeKP2sgJd

Sami was a festival highlight that year! People at the @seizureonline Rant event still mention how much they loved him — so nice to hear that the feeling is mutual ❤️

The top floor of the #Mudgee #Library was the perfect sunny spot for @willkostakis to read @zoyajpatel's No Country Woman at the #MudRF19 Silent Reading Party. Photo by Amber Creative.

After a powerful, big-hearted, glorious #Queerstories event in #mudgee last night, this @firstdogonmoon cartoon is the perfect Sunday reading (you know, in addition to the MANY amazing books that we collected over the #mudrf19 weekend): https://t.co/iP7pDJP21o

@willkostakis And Miriam was so excited to get her copy of Monuments after hearing you talk about it at her school yesterday 📚😍

[Benjamin Law 羅旭能 @mrbenjaminlaw]

Queerstories at @MudgeeReaders was lit AF. Just look at this crew queering up regional Australia while breaking hearts and blowing minds.

Extra shout out to the lionhearted trans teen who took their entire family and came up afterwards to give us all the best hug, you’re rad. 💫

[Mudgee Readers' Festival @MudgeeReaders]

Good morning! Our breakfast session with @mrbenjaminlaw and @SummerInOz is in full swing and it is fabulous:
