Should an author withdraw due to COVID-19 disruptions, please note they will be substituted and no refund will be applicable.

Bags

There is no cloakroom facility at Storyfest Out West. We encourage students to bring a small carry bag, as some venues have limited access for school bags. Valuables should be left at home, and lost property can be collected from the Information Booth at the Festival.
