Athol was invited to the first ever Lowveld Book Festival in White River 5-7 August 2016.
All the events took place at Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre. Athol read some poems at the opening ceremony, along with other guest speakers including Jenny Cruys-Williams. Such a well organised event. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There were sessions from the Friday to noon on Sunday. There was also a show with comedian Nik Rabinowitz on the Saturday night. We stayed at the Premier Hotel The Winkler, which was very nice - just down the road from the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre.
It's 1 12 hour trip from Cape Town but worth it. The best way is to fly from CT to JHB and then take a 4 hour shuttle to White River.
We look forward to next year!
