About TWF Writers' Festival
The Wilde Foundation’s Writers’ Festival is a celebration of stories, those we tell, those we inherit, and those we are still learning to speak aloud. Rooted in the belief that every voice holds power, the festival brings together authors, poets, and readers to honour storytelling in all its forms. Through conversations, workshops, and performances, we create space for truth, imagination, and connection. Here, stories are not just written or read, they are shared, felt, and remembered. This is more than a festival; it’s a gathering of hearts and words, dedicated to the beauty and courage of storytelling.

The Workshop was brilliant, every speaker was exceptional. The content was so valuable. This should be a bigger event next year.
