Brisbane’s iconic and much-loved Bookfest is taking over Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, with over a million books once again in December.
Delivering hundreds of pallets of books to learn, books to help you earn. Prepare for great reads and other books to help prepare great eats. The mask and capes will also be donned as the fantastic ‘Comicfest’ also returns with a MARVELous range of comics, collectibles and figurines available.
There’s chillout spaces to sit and read, a record player to listen to your old favourites or find a new one, and a game zone to test your skills on video games new and old.
Lifeline Bookfests are held to raise funds to support Lifeline Crisis Support Services, which are free and available for anyone who needs them via phone 13 11 14, text 0447 13 11 14, and online chat llifeline.org.au – 24/7.
Preparing for your visit:
- Trolleys will be available, but bring your own ‘book carrying device’ (BCD) – we’ve seen everything from personal shopping trolleys to backpacks, prams, and suitcases!
- Wear comfy shoes – it’s a massive event, and you’ll want to explore every nook and cranny.
- Eftpos is the preferred payment method, cash payment is available from select checkouts.
