We're thrilled to announce that the Inspired Readers Festival is heading back to Port Macquarie in Term 4, Week 5 from Tuesday 11 to Thursday 13 November 2025!
After a hugely successful event in 2024, we're once again bringing the magic of books and storytelling back to the Mid-North Coast, creating unforgettable moments for young readers. This three-day literary celebration is designed especially for primary school students, with sessions that connect them directly with some of Australia's most celebrated children's authors.
The Inspired Readers Festival is about more than just books, it's about building community through literacy, especially in regional areas where access to author visits and literary events is rare.
