Adelaide Writers Week runs from Saturday 5 March to Thursday 10 March in the Pioneer Women’s Memorial Garden.

For those on the Fleurieu unable to get into town many local library branches will offer a free livestream from the East Stage.

The livestream will allow a taste of the Adelaide Festival wordfest across four days, from Monday 7 March to Thursday 10 March from 9.30am to 6pm.

This year’s theme is to dream of a way we can build a post-COVID world with greater equality, humanity and community.

The local libraries taking part include Aldinga, Goolwa, Noarlunga, Strathalbyn, Victor Harbor and Yankalilla.

Some libraries will be unable to stream the final session of the day - check with individual branches.
