The Australian Discworld Convention is a 3-day event run by fans for fans of author Sir Terry Pratchett, famous for his humorous fantasy books - especially the Discworld series. The convention includes panels, special guests, workshops, creative events, costumes and a Gala Dinner, all focused on Terry Pratchett's works.
Our next convention is:
Step through the portal to the fantasy realm of Sydney and the year 2026 for the tenth Australian Discworld Convention.
All the witches have their own story and like all good stories... there's a twist!
Want to be involved but not sure how? Become a witch in training. Learn to be as nosey as Nanny, as confident as Perdita X and, to just do the job in front of you, like Tiffany.
The convention is a chance to meet other fans of Sir Terry Pratchett, have fun and share the humour of the books. You might like to dress up as a favourite character - many attendees do, but it is not compulsory.
We aim to pack a lot of fun into 3 days, running multiple events simultaneously and finishing late in the evening on Friday and Saturday.
The conventions are run by fans and while not-for-profit, money is raised for a chosen charity via the auction. Like Terry's books, the conventions are family-friendly.
You can find more details in the Newcomer's ABC, and answers to all those obscure questions (like what does "Nullus Anxietas" mean?) can be found in our FAQ.

Well, now, ducks, pull up a chair. Mind where you park your broom and your bottom. Oops. Don't mind him, he's just a big old softie1.
Broomsticks and Cauldrons is bubbling away again, and it wouldn't do to let it boil over unattended. There's been a deal of stirring since last we spoke - some of it with spoons, some of it with elbows - and I can't say as I'm surprised. Witches, after all, are like a good pot of tea: best eyed with suspicion, liable to improve with age, and inclined …
Greetings from the desk of Miss Tick, and a Happy Hogswatch to you all.
As any sensible witch knows - though sensible witches are regrettably rarer than one might hope - there comes a time in the turning of the seasons when even a well-behaved broom begins to twitch with impatience, and the cauldron develops opinions of its own.
This is usually a sign that the world is up to something again. Therefore, in the interest of preparedness (and avoiding the sort of surprises that ruin good boots), I present …
Good day.
It has come to my attention that the latest issue of Broomsticks and Cauldrons - a publication which continues, against all odds and editorial restraint, to exist - has found its way into your hands. One might reasonably ask why. Perhaps you seek knowledge. Perhaps you are merely curious. Or perhaps, most concerning of all, you believe yourself to be a practitioner of the arcane arts.
Whatever the case, and as Miss Tick has stepped away from her desk, it is my duty - as it so often is - to remind you that magic, …
