Byron Writers Festival, Media Release, 12 July 2025
If your kids or grandkids love books, then the Byron Writers Festival’s Kids Program is the ultimate event to nurture their love of storytelling, while having a blast at the same time!
Hosted by comedian Peter Helliar, budding bookworms will be entertained by writers including Tony Armstong in his exclusive Byron Writers Festival appearance, delighted by storytime with Anita Heiss and can dance along with The Gumboots. Look out for the Spaghetti Circus stiltwalkers as they wander around the grounds.
On Sunday 10 August the Lilly Pilly stage transforms into an immersive storytelling arena where authors and illustrators take to the stage to entertain, inspire and delight.
Kids can also explore the StoryBoard space at the Coolamon tent, where our famous StoryBoard bus and tipi village comes alive with free drop-in workshops for aspiring young writers and illustrators.
Don’t miss this fantastic family event.
