Join us in beautiful Greytown, South Wairarapa for the second-annual New Zealand Stationery Festival, a boutique celebration of the love of pen and paper.

In 2027 stationery-enthusiasts from all over New Zealand will meet at Cobblestones Heritage Village to explore an inspiring collection of premium international stationery brands, along with handpicked local makers.

Featured brands for 2027 include ArtGecko, A. T. Cross, Esterbrook, Ferris Wheel Press, Lamy, Letts of London, MD Paper Product, Midori, Milan, Moleskine, The Superior Labor, Traveler’s Company, and many more.

All Stationery Festival ticket holders will receive a branded AS Colour tote bag in chocolate brown, the official event sticker, and the opportunity to create your own letterpress postcard with Graham Judd from Inkiana Press.

This year, tickets are timed-entry so we can ensure no one waits outside in the sun (fingers-crossed) for too long, and everyone knows exactly when to arrive. Your ticket is single-entry until 2pm, after which time you can re-enter as capacity allows.

Throughout the day, you can join creative workshops designed to spark ideas, improve your skills and deepen your love of stationery and creative journaling. A separate ticket for workshops is required. 

The New Zealand Stationery Festival will be intentionally intimate to fit within our wee town; a small but perfectly formed gathering in a heritage village, focused on beautiful paper goods, pens, inks, journaling and creative tools, and the wonderful people who enjoy them.

Just an hour from Wellington, Greytown’s charm makes it the perfect setting for a day out with your fellow ink lovers, journalers and stationery enthusiasts. Join us for New Zealand’s biggest little stationery festival!
