The Creative Reader Café
Enjoy coffee, tea or lunch made fresh and hang out at the Festival Café and Patio Lounge.
Soak up the sun on beanbags, lounge on sofas and relax the afternoon away with a hot drink or a glass of wine and a good book. Meet friends and family, unwind after dancing, or stop by before heading to a theatre show or performance.
Participate in the Café Book Exchange, help yourself to a book from the shelves, relax and read, and if you’re not finished, take it home! Feel free to bring in and exchange a book you’ve already read and enjoyed, pass it along and keep the love alive, it’s open the whole Festival.

James Hunt is a guitarist/singer/song writer currently attending Launceston College.
