The project
Following the 2025 Bendigo Writers Festival, the City of Greater Bendigo is undertaking a review.
The 2025 Festival was not the Festival we wanted to hold.
The review is a chance to pause and reflect on what’s worked well in the past, what could be improved, and what the event might look like in the future.
The City is seeking feedback from past ticketholders, past participants including authors, hosts and speakers, staff and volunteers, local businesses and community members.
All views on the value of the Festival are important and feedback will inform the outcome of the review.
Have your say
The survey closed at 9am on Monday October 27, 2025. We received over 850 responses. Thank you for your feedback. Once we review all the feedback we will provide an update.
