Scribblers Family Weekend is a joyous two-day festival, bringing together some of Australia’s best writers and illustrators.

Held at Subiaco Arts Centre, the weekend features a mix of FREE Storyteller Sessions, where you can sit back and listen to your favourite authors and artists talk about what inspires them, and paid workshops, where you can get busy learning from the best.

Make sure you arrive early to hear the winner’s announcement of The Golden Pen Writing Award.

The YA Collective occurs the Saturday of the Family Weekend. This highly anticipated program is curated by our 2022 Youth Curators, Anish, Sophie, Lexi, Linus and Sophia. This thoughtful and engaged team put together a series of talks and workshops based on matters that are important to young people, today. If you have a teen in your family, this is perfect for them.

While you’re at the Weekend, make sure you keep an ear out for Scribblers Radio, hosted by our 2022 Podcasters from the Conversation Caravan. These young journalists will be asking our creative stars all the curly and curious questions they can think of.

To make sure you get everything out of the Family Weekend –from markets and craft sessions, right down to what food and drinks are on offer -
