The 2017 Programme was our most ambitious yet: hosting over 200 novelists, playwrights, song writers, scientists, historians, children’s writers, illustrators, journalists and poets, including 40 internationals, introduced a new venue, took to the streets, and hosted a glittering spoken word showcase.
With a record attendance of over 72,000 this Festival was the most diverse yet, spanning continents and cultures and reflecting the interests of people across all age groups. Audiences came from all over New Zealand and across the world, and left inspired by stories of change and hope, and a deeper understanding of the role they, as individuals, can play in the world.
And now, straight into the planning for next year... hope to make next year’s event even better and you can help us do that by giving us your feedback. We would be very grateful if you would take a few minutes to complete a short survey about your 2017 Festival experience, which will help to inform our planning for 2018. The information we collect also helps us to secure grants and funding for future Festivals, so we are extremely grateful for your help. To thank you for your support and feedback, everyone who completes the survey below will go into a draw to win $500 of Festival books.
Entries close Tuesday 13 June 2017.
