Escape is Tauranga’s much-anticipated bi-ennial readers' and writers’ festival, affectionately dubbed "the little festival with big ideas". Our boutique festival celebrates ideas, thinkers, writers and storytelling with a packed programme of literary talks, panel discussions, workshops, and live performance across three days.

Below are the shows that Baycourt is playing host to along with those that are just down the hill at the Cargo Shed. 

If you'd like to check out all the Escape Festival events please have a look at the full programme.

Join us for a memorable encounter with celebrated author Dame Anne Salmond reflecting on 40 years of writing and her journey as an anthropologist, activist, friend, wife and mother. Knowledge Is a Blessing on Your Mind: Selected Writings, 1980 - 2020, brings together Salmond’s key writing on the Māori world, cultural contact, the wider Pacific and to today’s debates about race and Te Tiriti.

Salmond is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Auckland, author of countless award-winning books, an internationally recognised social scientist and passionate environmentalist.

Radio New Zealand Senior Producer Justine Murray (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi) leads a warm and intelligent conversation with Dame Anne as she reflects on her phenomenal career, travels, writing and pathway through our changing land.
