FRANSCHHOEK LITERARY FESTIVAL

Third Franschhoek Literary Festival to take place from May 15 to 17.

If you are starved of good literature, crave a good book, or would like to listen to poets and literary experts debating issues, then visit the third Franschhoek Literary Festival (FLF) which will be held from May 15 to 17.

This literary event in the Winelands village of Franschhoek has become an important part of the arts and literary calendar in South Africa and is supported by local and international literary people.

The FLF was started in 2007 as a festival run along the same lines as the Cheltenham and Hay-on Wye festivals, with two main aims: to bring a broad spectrum of good and accessible South African writers together for informal discussions, and in so doing to encourage a reading culture in our valley and the broader Western Cape community.
