Come for the stories, stay for the penguins, leave inspired
The Festival of Stories brings together storytellers from all walks of life and genres to share their experiences. Not only authors — you will hear from actors, journalists, gardeners, radio presenters, and entertainers. Walk away enlightened, inspired, and maybe encouraged to go out and watch birds or pull some weeds…
Based on spectacular Phillip Island, the festival offers the perfect opportunity for a winter weekend getaway. Near enough to reach on a short drive from Melbourne but far enough to feel like you’ve had a real escape, Phillip Island is Victoria’s holiday sweet spot. Home to the biggest colony of Little Penguins, idyllic beaches, captivating coastlines, whale watching, and more.
EARLY BIRD SALE ENDS 30 JUNE 2026 – get in quick!
