The 19th Literary Festival will take place from 18 to 20 February 2026 at the historic Carrington Hotel in Katoomba. The theme is Historical Fiction: Bringing the Past to Life in which elements of fact and fiction are blended to create compelling stories, plays, poetry, songs, and movies that entertain, inform and will even challenge you. Three days of fun with fabulous presentations, delightful breakfasts, lunches, morning and afternoon teas and gourmet dinners (including wine), a movie night and time to relax and enjoy Katoomba. On Thursday, following our Cocktail Party and Dinner, our special guest Heather Morris, author of Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey, Three Sisters, Sisters of the Rising Sun, will discuss the 'stories behind her stories'.
