This year’s Words in Winter festival brings creativity to every corner of our town with the Around the Town program. Dive into Re-Page Art, a community exhibition transforming old books into stunning artworks, displayed across local venues from July 25 to August 31.
Don’t miss Phone-a-Poem, an interactive poetry experience at Paradise Bookshop, Daylesford Library, and the Daylesford Regional Visitor Information Centre from July 28 – August 31, pick up a handset and let the words transport you.
Experience the spontaneous magic of Guerilla Poetry, where multilingual readings will pop up in cafés from August 22-24, blending languages and cultures in unexpected moments.
For a delicious twist, visit Two Fold Bakehouse at the Daylesford Sunday Railway Market on August 10 and 24 – every bread purchase comes with a free poem, story, or recipe, and two lucky buyers will win Golden Tickets to exclusive Words in Winter events.
From book art to surprise poetry and baked-in storytelling, this year’s festival invites you to explore, listen, and be inspired – all around town.
