92. The Afternoon Tea

Savour an afternoon of outstanding readings and high tea delicacies at this beloved Writers Fest tradition first started by our late founding artistic director, Alma Lee. The tables will be laden with scones, sandwiches, and cookies; the tea and coffee will be flowing, alongside a signature glass of sherry. Accompanying the sumptuous spread are readings of captivating fiction from celebrated authors: Anita Rau Badami (Asha in Her Garden), Patricia Finn (The Golden Boy), Melissa Harrison (The Given World), Nazanine Hozar (The Small Ones), Eden Robinson (The Sorceress of Sky Serpents), and Damien Wilkins (Delirious). Hosted by Bill Richardson.  

Generously sponsored by the Faris Family in memory of Yulanda Faris. Damien Wilkins' attendance generously supported by Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa.
