About this Event
BEDTIME STORIES with Yumi Stynes, Nardi Simpson, Ceridwen Dovey and Dobby, hosted by Maeve Marsden // Saturday 2 November // 8:00pm - 9:00pm // Venue: The Carrington Hotel, Ballroom // Part of the 2024 Blue Mountains Writers' Festival
Get ready for bed (pyjamas optional) as a collection of festival talent entertain and delight in the cosy surrounds of The Carrington, cup of hot chocolate (or whisky) in hand. Only at the Blue Mountains Writers’ Festival can you book a room in the festival venue, the very place you’ve spent the day in, engaged by readings, discussions and fierce debates. Wind down and inspire the sweetest of dreams at these intimate evening events, featuring poetry, comedy, music and storytelling.
We couldn’t resist asking Nardi Simpson to bring her guitar along, to sing a few tunes (or perhaps a lullaby) from her incredible back-catalogue, as one half of beloved acoustic duo, Stiff Gins. Or, for a different vibe, rapper, drummer and composer Dobby will deliver a more intimate performance than his usual live shows, Yumi Stynes will read us a witty and warm tale or two, and Ceridwen Dovey, author of Only the Astronauts, will send us into outer space, inspiring dreams full of weird space junk and big ideas, in this intimate salon hosted by Festival Director Maeve Marsden.
Please note: Drinks are not included with the ticket but can be purchased separately at Champagne Charlies on the night.
