2022 EVENT CANCELLED
"It is with deepest regret that the Whanganui Literary Festival Trust has decided to cancel the 9th bi-ennial festival. ‘With the rapidly increasing number of COVID cases, we felt we owed our patrons and our visiting authors a duty of care,’ Trust Chair, Mary-Ann Ewing explained. ‘We have tried everything to make the event safe and are so disappointed that we will not be able to hear a wonderful line-up of authors speak in Whanganui.’ Refunds will be available at the Royal Whanganui Opera House who will be advising those who have pre-booked how to go about that".
