The Australian Discworld Convention

The Australian Discworld Convention is a 3-day event 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:

Nullus Anxietas X - 2026

Dates and Venue To Be Announced - Sydney, NSW

A celebration of the Witches

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, just like Tiffany.

  • You can buy a supporting membership right now!

  • Subscribe to the newsletter to get the latest news - all future news about the 2026 convention will be sent to the newsletter first, ahead of any social media announcements.

Never been to a Discworld Convention before?

The convention is a chance to meet other fans of Sir Terry Pratchett, have fun and share the humour of the books. Maybe 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, are not-for-profit but do raise money for charity via the auction. Like Terry's books, the conventions are family friendly.

When shall we... two hundred meet again?

It's now been a month since Nullus Anxietas 9. We hope that everyone that attended has had a chance to recover, relax and get back to "real life" which is a lot less fun than Discworld. And if you didn't get a chance to attend this year, we're sorry you missed out on an amazing experience - make sure it doesn't happen again!

So when shall we two hundred meet again?

Unfortunately, we can't do next Wednesday, but we can do Nullus Anxietas X in 2026.
