Waterside Theatre are proud to announce our brand new Literary Festival which will take place between the 1st and 8th October 2022

Featuring a host of world-renowned and local authors, poets and illustrators, 'Spread The Word' will be unique and wide-ranging. The week-long festival will engage all members of our multicultural community in person and online, from the mainstream to the marginalised, young and old, to highlight the importance of reading, writing and literature.


With talks, readings, workshops, exhibitions and so much more.

 
There’s something for EVERYONE!
