Elgin Poetry Festival Dinner & Poetry Evening

Join us for an unforgettable evening of fine dining and poetry at The Cheverells Farm Shed as we celebrate the launch of the very first Elgin Poetry Festival on Friday, 24 July 2026.

Your ticket includes a welcome drink, delicious canapés, and a beautifully curated three-course meal — all enjoyed alongside a special live poetry reading by John Maytham, who will bring the words of Finuala Dowling to life in an intimate and atmospheric setting.

Proceeds from the ticket sales for this event will go to an NPO in Grabouw called Siphila Sonke. Funds will be donated to their Kids Club, which provides approximately 100 children a place for creative and academic stimulation in a safe and fun environment.

The celebration continues throughout the weekend with other activities such as book launches, poetry discussions, readings, an open mic, and engaging workshops, for more details on the rest of the weekend you can email: [email protected].
