Inaugural Greyton Book Club Festival 2011

Book worms unite this August!


Share your passion with other Cape Town book lovers and meet some of your favorite writers at a weekend getaway in picturesque Greyton, a leisurely 1 ½ hour drive from Cape Town.

Festival programme includes readings by local renowned authors, workshops, tips on approaching new reading material, walking tours, exhibitions, chocolate tastings and so much more.

If you’re looking for a revitalizing weekend out of the hustle and bustle of Cape Town then the peaceful little hamlet of Greyton, surrounded by river and mountain, together with the laid-back programme makes the Greyton Book Club Festival an ideal escape.

Festival Highlights;

Booktale (cocktail) Party with Margie Orford at the Post House
Gala Dinner Event at the Oaks Estate
Food demonstration at The Ladle Cooking School
Charity Read-a-Thon all over Greyton
Book Lover’s Lunch at Gabriëkloof
