Winterwords is five days of talking, listening, watching, and doing which aims to foster the celebration of words.

Events take place in many different venues across town including the Beechworth Library, the Beechworth Servicemen’s Memorial Hall and Supper Room, Beechworth RSL, Oregon Hall Quercus, the Beechworth Bakery, Beechworth Books, Tanswell’s Commercial Hotel and Bridge Road Brewers.

Write a poem, create a life drawing, attend an author talk, see an art exhibition, listen to poetry, hear a play, learn some harmonies, sing a song, chant in a yoga session, make a wordy collage, laugh and cry at a cabaret performance, buy some books, drink some wine, and enjoy all that Beechworth has to offer. With so much to do over five days in winter, Winterwords is truly a unique event.
