With much regret, the organisers of the Kiama Readers' Festival have postponed it to a yet-to-be-known date later in the year.

Uncertainty over whether the speakers from interstate and Sydney were going to be able to get here meant that a decision had to be made sooner rather than later. It was to be held on 23-25 July.

Tickets to the Festival were almost sold out, and ticketholders will get a refund through trybooking.

YouthFest, which was to be held tomorrow, has also been postponed.
