Stories contain worlds. They can be friends, teachers, confidants - and provide necessary sustenance. Join us for a glass of local wine and an evening of special performances from local festival guests, as they give their answers to the question “what sustains you?”

Enjoy readings from award-winning author, academic and teacher Ilka Tampke, poet, essayist and creative writing teacher Andy Jackson and music by guitarist and composer Robbie Melville. You’ll also get first dibs on festival tickets and a limited edition Mountain Writers Festival tote bag.

Hosted by Festival Director Izzy Roberts-Orr.
