Join the silent reading and Tony Park book launch event taking place on Saturday, 9 August 2025 at Leopard's Leap, Franschhoek.

Embracing the slow silence of late winter in the Franschhoek Valley, we invite you to join us at Leopard's Leap for a silent reading event taking place on Saturday, 9 August 2025. Just bring your book, choose a comfortable seat in front of the fire or a sunny spot, soak up the quiet, and turn those pages!

Join us for a generous reading glass filled with your choice of Leopard’s Leap wine, a buffet of soup and bread, and a charming selection of sweet treats to keep you company while you enjoy an afternoon of quiet reading.

While the quiet reading starts at 12h30, you are invited to join us from 10h30 when international author Tony Park will introduce his brand new novel, called Die by the Sword. He will be in casual conversation with Helen Turnbull of the Cape Leopard Trust.

A welcome coffee or tea, a glass of bubbly, and a morning snack will be served at 10h30 before the conversation starts at 11h00.

Out of reading material? Wordsworth Books will join us with a selection of the latest releases and bestsellers – including the Tony Park release! Royalties from sales of Tony's book sold on the day, will be donated to the plight of the vulnerable leopards of the Cape Winelands.
