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.

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, …
Right, listen up, ye fine broom-ridin' bonnie bunch! 'Tis yer wee pal Rob Anybody 'ere, scribblin' this missive wi' the grace o' a hedgehog on roller skates an' the spelling skills o' a ship wi' a quill (an' believe me, we tried that once - dinnae ask). Now then, we've got tales tae tell, spells tae sling, an' a sale on cauldrons big enough tae fit a ship, if ye're daft enough tae try cookin' one whole - not that we'd recommend it, mind, unless the ship deserved …
Roll up, roll up! Fresh off the back of a donkey and only slightly cursed - Broomsticks and Cauldrons, the finest (and only!) magical newsletter this side of the Shades! Perfect for witches, wizzards, or anyone what's ever shouted at a teacup!
Only five dollars,1 a lock of hair, and one minor soul promise! Comes pre-hexed and wrapped in ethically questionable parchment. Smells faintly of regret.
From the desk of Miss Perspicacia Tick, with the help of C.M.O.T Dibbler, included in this issue:
