What you’ll want to know

Tickets are R50 a session, with halfprice discounts for students and pensioners. Tickets are available through webtickets.co.za and will also be on sale at the venue on the day.

At Sci-Bono, the Litfest will take place in adjacent rooms (see the programme on Page 8). Sci-Bono offers age-group guided tours for children, so Litfest patrons can bring them along; they’ll be under safe adult supervision.

There is extensive parking and a coffee shop on the ground floor serves light meals.

The Bookdealers chain will have books by Litfest authors and other writers on sale outside the festival venues.
