- **Event Name**: Words at Wagstaffe – a one-day literary celebration featuring AC Grayling
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 11:45 pm – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 06:15 am
- **Event Description**: Words at Wagstaffe, a one-day literary celebration held in partnership between Words on the Waves Writers Festival and The Bouddi Society, will return to Wagstaffe Hall for its sixth spectacular year on Saturday 14 March 2026. 

What happens when a former French spy, a policy advisor-turned-media disruptor, a humanist philosopher and a true crime writer meet in a secluded location to peel back the layers of Power and Intrigue that govern our personal and political worlds?

In the spirit of secret meetings in stunning and remote locations, we invite you to hear from these brilliant minds in the charming Wagstaffe Community Hall, a breathtaking location only reachable via picturesque ferry ride or a scenic drive through the dense forest of Bouddi National Park. Here, they will unveil treasured insights from the halls of power and inside the minds of our world’s most powerful – and dangerous – people.

We’ll be treated to gritty tales of espionage from The Frenchman trilogy with spy-turned-author Jack Beaumont; close encounters with criminal minds as recalled by veteran true crime writer Mark Dapin; exclusive insights from the trusted advisors to our world’s most powerful people from Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks’ investigations into the role of The Right Hand (penned in Wagstaffe!) and startling revelations from Renaissance man and esteemed British philosopher AC Grayling as authoritarianism looms and the erosion of democratic structures beckons an urgent response from the people, For The People.

We are deeply honoured to be included in Grayling’s Australian tour… a coup for the Central Coast and our book-loving community!

The Day Pass entitles you to four (4) fascinating author talks followed by book signings. BOOKFACE will be onsite as festival bookseller.

See you there!

The doors will open at 9.00am, and the event will start at 9:45am with Acknowledgement of Country and welcome notes. Your promptness is appreciated.
