Townsville Scrabble Festival 2025
Townsville is proud to be hosting both the Australian Women’s Scrabble Championship and the Queensland Scrabble Championship in 2025. We will also be running a few shorter tournaments on beautiful Magnetic Island to make traveling to North Queensland in winter even more tempting! All tournaments will be CSW24 and WESPA-rated.
.
We experience 24 sunny days and an average daily maximum temperature of 26° in August, making it an ideal time to visit.
There are direct flights to Townsville from Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, as well as overnight train trips from the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
The Townsville tournaments will be held in the CBD within walking distance of a range of accommodation and restaurant options. The Magnetic Island Bowls Club and Arcadia Hotel are both on the bus route and within walking distance of each other.
