On behalf of TAFT, our Board, and our festival team, we are delighted to bring to audiences SPEAKEASY Writers Fest, 9-10 July 2022. Our first standalone readers and writers’ festival, SPEAKEASY, focuses on the strength and depth of contemporary New Zealand literature. Book lovers will enjoy being part of this intimate experience, held over two days, with awardwinning authors, poets, adventurers, scholars and more. SPEAKEASY is a mini festival with a smaller audience capacity, programmed to run at the “red” level. We encourage all avid readers to book their tickets early, as limited tickets are available, and settle in for a weekend of ideas and conversations celebrating the written word in fiction and non-fiction forms. We look forward to bringing this event to New Plymouth and reconnecting with our festival audiences after the challenges that COVID has presented over the last year.
