Looking for the perfect Saturday itinerary at the Berry Writers Festival? Here’s a suggestion for a literary-filled day based on our available sessions:

Start your morning with a coffee and treat from the Milkwood Bakery cart, then head to the 9 am session of "Dark Materials: The Secrets of Political Fiction."

At 10:30 am, dive into the compelling "Mother Load: The Act of Creation, Pain, and Elation" session.

Take a break for lunch and explore Berry's wonderful cafés, full of character and delicious food.

Head to the 2 pm session for "The Serious Business of Romantic Comedy" for some escapist, yet insightful conversation.

Wrap up your day with the 5 pm session "To Thine Own Self Be True: Identity & Authenticity."

And for dinner? Make sure to book a spot at Bangalay Dining or enjoy a wine tasting at Silos Estate to complete your day!

Make it a Saturday to remember!
