Riverina Readers Festival
Held on the banks of the beautiful Murrumbidgee River, the Riverina Readers Festival is an inaugural one day reading festival that aims to bring the Riverina community together through the celebration of reading in all its forms.
Jane Austen's 250th Birthday Celebration
Austen’s work is monumental, timeless and has inspired many works we know and love today. It’s only fitting to go back in time for one evening with 18th century outfits, tantalising cake and iced tea, games and fine entertainment.
Taking place on Tuesday 16th December at CSU Riverina Playhouse, we welcome you to take a turn around the parlour from 6:15 PM to enjoy your surroundings. Pride and Prejudice (2005) will commence screening at 7 PM.
