The annual 'Banjo Paterson Poets Brunch and Lunch' will be held on Sunday, February 16 and will surely delight fans of all ages.

It is held as part of the week-long Banjo Paterson Festival and last year's event attracted about 250 people over the course of the day and organisers are hoping for a similar figure in 2020.

National and world-renowned bush poets are expected to attend, as are poets from Wellington, Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo and beyond.

The Wombat Bush Poets from Young will also be making an appearance plus banjo musician Chris McGinty from Toogong.

Alf Cantrell, curator of the 'Banjo Paterson...more than a Poet Museum' said it will be a very entertaining day.

Sydney historian Cliff Crane will give an address based on a lifetime of research and out forward the question 'was the man from snowy river a woman?'.

"He has spent most of his working life researching Paterson...," Mr Cantrell said.

The historian's last few months have been devoted to The Man from Snowy River poem, Mr Cantrell said.

He believes the iconic poem still resonates with many people today because most Australian's would like to think they are the lead character.

"It's a very stirring and adventurous poem," Mr Cantrell added.

The museum curator said many poems written today are more artistic in their construction than the poems of poets like Paterson and Lawson.

"So it's good to be able to sit down and listen to these poems, and although you may have heard them 20 times before, people can put different empathise on it," Mr Cantrell explained.

The event will be held at Yeoval's 'Banjo Paterson...more than a Poet Museum' and is expected to commence about 11am and finish at 3pm.
