Sydney Writers’ Festival Family Day
Ready to trade the iPad for some actual, honest-to-goodness storytelling? The Sydney Writers’ Festival Family Day at Carriageworks is basically Glastonbury for the juice-box set. This is the day when the industrial-chic halls of Eveleigh transform into a riot of imagination and creativity. You’ll find world-class authors and illustrators doing live talks that are genuinely engaging (and often hilarious), alongside hands-on workshops where the kids can write their own masterpieces or doodle till their hearts’ content. Look out for ‘Russ the Story Bus’—the coolest mobile library you’ve ever seen—and a whole heap of free activities designed to get kids excited about books. It’s loud, it’s busy, and it’s brilliantly curated. Whether they’re obsessed with Dog Man or just getting into picture books, it’s a fantastic way to spend a Sunday. Just be prepared to leave with a much heavier backpack full of new books and inspired ideas.
Enjoyed the read? This is just one piece of the puzzle.
