About this Event
Are you looking for a fun, bookish event right here in Canberra?
Come and join us at hamlet. Literature Expo in February 2027, presented by The Bookmark Revolution (TBR).
TBR is building a community-focused event where small businesses and creatives can shine!
We aim to take this Expo beyond a seller's market by offering all manner of creative outlets and experiences, including workshops, panels, presentations, craft activities, readings, reenactments, and author signings.
Whether you want to try your hand at a new hobby like bedazzling or edge spraying, or you're dying to hear about your favourite author's process; hamlet. is the village to help you learn!
Looking for something a little different? Try our Speed Date With a Book, where you have 2 minutes to gush or rant about all the popular reads. Not your speed? (see what we did there?) Check out one of our presentations, where people will have the chance to convince you of their wildest theories, like why Azriel is a Priestess in disguise, or how the recipe for Weaver's Ice cream could actually be palatable!
You can also browse through our Ye Olde Shoppe for your newest bookish merchandise and goodies, relax in the lending library, head down Author Alley, or enjoy our drama guests reenacting some of our favourite book scenes.
With a variety of vendors and authors as well as a day jam-packed with bookish adventures, hamlet. is the bookish home-away-from-home you've been looking for!
Children under 5 years old are FREE!
* Please note: there will be 18+ content present at the expo. Merchandise, book covers, and embellished products may contain 18+ content and may be on display *
