Newspapers played a vital role in the early years of the region’s European history – they provided essential news for settlers, stimulated discussion about pressing political issues, were the principal ‘boosters’ of their communities – and were run by a cast of colourful owners and editors. They also provide important clues about the future for the country’s newspapers today.

This is an event involved in the Featherston Booktown Festival on Friday 10th, Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th May celebrating everything to do with books, writers and reading. The three-day programme includes writing workshops; poetry readings; talks by leading authors and illustrators; and a book fair including stalls with rare and second-hand books. There are also events specifically for children.

Take a look at our website for the full programme of events.
