The Open Book Festival 2025 returns to the Homecoming Centre at the District Six Museum, a vibrant space where arts, performance, learning, and community come together. The Open Book Festival celebrates not only literary sessions but also community and spaces that bring people together.

The festival’s second home, The Book Lounge, Cape Town’s beloved independent bookstore, provides an intimate setting where readers connect, conversations spark, and literary communities flourish. Books by participating authors are available ahead of the festival.

At the HCC Marketplace, visitors can browse and have books signed, discover local creatives, relax in the decompression zone, and enjoy offerings from Not Sad Food and Lubanzi wine.

Tickets are available online through Webtickets.

On Auction: A Riverfront Country Estate Where Art, Architecture & Nature Live in Harmony

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.

Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
