ABR Adelaide Festival Tour 2024

1–9 March 2024

Adelaide Festival Tour 2024

Following on from our successful 2022 and 2023 Adelaide Festival tours, ABR and Academy Travel hosted another cultural tour to Adelaide to coincide with Adelaide Writers’ Week and the best of the 2024 Adelaide Festival.

Inaugurated in 1960, Writers’ Week and the Festival are unmissable highlights on Australia’s cultural calendar. Through ABR participants enjoy special access to Writers’ Week events and some of the featured writers. Academy Travel is the only travel company to be a partner sponsor of the Adelaide Festival, guaranteeing access to excellent tickets and the opportunity to meet artists and directors.

There was also time to enjoy the collection and Festival exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia and trips to the Penfolds Magill Estate and the Adelaide Hills. Accommodation was at the Intercontinental Hotel, adjacent to Writers’ Week and Festival venues.

The tour was led by ABR Editor and CEO Peter Rose – an award-winning author – and by Christopher Menz, popular Academy Travel tour leader and former Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia.

This was a nine-day tour and the group was limited to just twenty participants.
