Ubud Events — Festivals, Creative Workshops and Meetups

Ubud Events

In Ubud, a reason to head out might be a conversation with a writer, a first attempt at lino printing or an evening with a small group. Choose an event where you can linger: listen, ask a question or make something by hand. This guide helps you find those gatherings among Ubud event listings published on Anilau.

Books and cultural conversations

One reason to follow the local programme is Ubud Writers & Readers Festival. It brings writers and readers together for discussions and literary events. Start with a subject that interests you: a conversation with an author can offer a more personal introduction to Ubud than another sightseeing walk.

Consider the language of a cultural event when choosing. An English title does not mean the whole session is in English, and a translated listing does not promise an interpreter at the venue. Read the participation details and ask the organiser about anything that matters to you.

Creative workshops in small groups

For a quieter day, try a creative class. NENEK Ubud, for example, lists lino printing and charcoal drawing workshops. Working with materials gives everyone something to talk about and lets you get to know other participants without having to join a large crowd.

Before booking, check whether experience is required, whether materials are included in the price and how to reserve a place. If bringing a child, ask about the suitable age range separately. Different classes can have different arrangements, even at a familiar venue.

Find a gathering or add your own

The selection below shows current listings assigned to Ubud. Open a card for the date, address, price and organiser contacts; the link above the selection takes you to all matching events. Check the precise address before travelling: “Ubud” in an announcement is no substitute for a point on the map.

If you host a talk, workshop, concert or open gathering, add a free listing on Anilau. Choose Events and the Ubud location, then include the schedule, venue, programme language and participation details. Add a contact where people can ask questions or book a place.
