We launch the festival tomorrow morning at 10am with the Ada Cambridge Prizes, and the official launch with Ms Lynne Kosky, former Arts Minister. Please feel free to come along - the Supper Room at the Williamstown Town Hall is accessible through the Town Hall, and thence out the back. Volunteers will show you the way, if you don't know it.
Then we hit the ground running with the very popular Great Bogan Literary Debate, and don't stop till Chaucer 101 (start time 2.15pm) closes us off on Sunday at 4.30pm.
There is a festival hub outside the Town Hall with coffee, cakes and goodies to eat, so you can sit between sessions. The Met Office promises sun. It really does.
Tickets are available on site for most events (though be prepared for queueing for the most popular ones if you haven't already got your tickets).
And there'll be an online survey next week so you can give us your feedback.
Chocks away! |

Last night's footy panel session at the Williamstown Football club was a great success! It was a full house, and the audience had a great time, wanting the panel to continue on after the session ended. Great stuff.
Gideon Haigh, Vin Maskell and John Harms.
Gideon Haigh's session The Office, the book, is on Saturday 5 May at 5.00pm. Details are here. Just a few tickets left for one of WillyLitFest's favourite guests. |

Know any creative type 7 - 11 year olds? Then Sofie Laguna wants them. Sofie is a regular at WillyLitFest and her workshop on Sunday still has some tickets left. This is likely to change with all the' last week before the festival' publicity we are garnering, so be quick if your child, nephew, niece, god-child, grand-child, neighbour's child is interested in moving away from the games console. |
