Franschhoek Literary Festival

For three days Franschhoek will become a bustling get-together of readers, writers, booksellers and publishers. Visit the Polemics and Politics themed Franschhoek Literary Festival from 11 to 13 May 2012.

The 2012 line-up of writers, discussions, poetry, literary breakfasts, plays and interviews includes Marianne Thamm, Gareth Cliff, Denis Beckett, Martin Welz, Mike Wills, Anton Harber, Mandy Wiener, Finuala Dowling, Fiona Forde, cartoonist Zapiro and many more. The visiting authors have been selected for their exceptional writing, their approachability and their passion for promoting reading.

In the week leading up to the festival youngsters can take part in the first 'Book Week for Young Readers' where they can listen to some of the 46 children's authors participating in reading and telling their stories.

Tickets for all events, including classical concerts and restaurant events, are available from the Franschhoek Wine Valley & Tourist Association. Tel: +27 (0)21 876-3603.
