This year’s festival is coming…
We have an amazing programme coming your way this year!
After hours of curating, piecing together the important themes and feelings of 2022, we have constructed an intimate programme full of depth, warmth and best of all, words.
I want to thank all towns involved in WIW- Trentham, Maryborough, Newstead and Creswick for all the wonderful events they curate.
Please practice social distancing. Let’s be safe. Thanks for all your support.
Best,
Maia Irell, Festival Director
