4th Annual Featherston Booktown 11-13 May

Featherston is the first town in New Zealand to become an official Booktown. This is the 4th annual Booktown festival and the weekend starts with a fish'n'chip supper open to all, featuring a special guest speaker - Kate de Goldi this year - and continues over Saturday and Sunday with workshops and seminars and secondhand booksellers joining the town's booksellers for a massive book sale. Many other bookish activites.
