17-26 October 2025

Save this date for the most riotously fun night of the year


Queenscliffe Literary Festival is excited to announce that the legendary Brian Nankervis is returning to Queenscliff next month for QLF’s second-annual Trivia Night Fundraiser.

If you’re up for more Dancing Queens, more Elvis and Mick Jagger impressions,  more great raffle prizes, more trivia, and more all-round, excellent fun—then put SATURDAY 19 JULY in your calendar.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday 20 June: if you're one of our subscribers, we’ll email you just beforehand to remind you to jump on the booking site. 

Tickets will be $50 per head to be on a ‘mystery table’ where you’ll meet your teammates on the night, or $400 to book a table of eight and bring along your smartest, most fun friends. It will be BYO picnic supper and your credit card for the bar, which will be open and extremely well-stocked.

All funds raised will go towards running our excellent festival, to be held this year between 17–26 October.

The Town Hall doors will open at 6.30 and the first round of trivia will begin at 7.30pm. Don’t forget to bring along your picnic supper, your gold coins, your dancing shoes, and your knowledge of weird and wonderful trivia from the Bellarine, Australia, and the world, in that order.

This event sold out last year and was the talk of the town for weeks afterwards.

Don’t miss out in 2025!
