Masterton & Martinborough isite Visitor Centres

Featherston is buzzing in May with Featherston Booktown events. We've selected 3 highlights for your reading pleasure today - read on:

Word Gets Around: Delaney Davidson And Barry Saunders
Featherston Anzac Hall, 62 Bell St, Featherston
Saturday 11 May 2024 3:30pm – 4:30pm

Delaney Davidson and Barry Saunders are storytellers who use music as their medium, and coming together as collaborators has taken them in new and exciting directions. “These songs just started appearing out of the kitchen air,” said Davidson, “and we were grabbing them as fast as we could.” They talk with Lucy Cooper about “the strange territory” they share making music together.

Author Spotlight: Carl Hayman
Featherston Anzac Hall, Featherston, Wairarapa
Sun 12 May 11:00am
What does it mean to be a modern All Black, expected to perform at a mental and physical peak when player body mass has increased by 30% since the 1960s and new research is showing the horrifying impact of head injuries on rugby player brains? All Black 1000, Carl Hayman, wrote Head On after discovering his injuries had led to early onset dementia. He joins his co-author Dylan Cleaver and former professional rugby player John Daniell to talk about the new realities of the sport we love.

Mrs Blackwell’s Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea: The abundant and the beautiful: making good food and fibre that won’t break the planet
Featherston Anzac Hall, 62 Bell St, Featherston
Sunday 12 May 2024 3:00pm – 4:30pm

Justine Ross (Meet You At The Main Divide) and her husband Geoff almost broke the internet when Country Calendar filmed their Central Otago station. In the shearing shed, shearers worked to the music of Vivaldi and shorn sheep slid down chutes to land on mattresses. Raised eyebrows from traditional farmers are nothing new to Yotam Kay (The Abundant Kitchen and The Abundant Garden), who established Pākaraka Permaculture in 2014 with his wife, Niva. Over the now famous spread that is our Mother's Day afternoon tea and JOIY mimosas, Yotam and Justine will talk with Helen Lehndorf (A Forager's Life) about the future of food and agriculture, and the planet we want to leave our grandchildren.
