Experience the inaugural Fringe Fireside Chats in 2023!

Join us from 11 to 13 August 2023 for fringe fireside chats in the Somerset West Winelands. This revolutionary book festival is dedicated to independent, unaffiliated writers, and will feature talks on how to become a successful Indie author, with speakers from the service industry for self publishing, as well as chats with self-published authors.

Events will be held at some of the best Helderberg’s wine farms such as Lourensford, Morgenster and Vergelegen and also the Playhouse, Erinvale Golf Club, the Somerset West Library, and even the Helderberg Nature Reserve. Tickets : From R60 + depending on the Venue offerings

Take advantage of the cosy indoor venues, fireside chats or book corners to hear from our great line up of speakers. Soak up the atmosphere as you mingle with like-minded self-starters, or explore the accommodation and restaurant specials which will be posted closer to the event. This is a unique concept, and one suited to an August winter market. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join the Fringe Fireside Chats and be part of a new kind of festival.
