An afternoon of stories, food and good company is coming to Alsahwa Estate 📚🌸
Join us for a Literary Lunch featuring two of Australia's most beloved storytellers, Robin Bailey and Frances Whiting
Settle in for a two course shared banquet, crafted from fresh, spray free produce grown across our own gardens and sourced from local farmers.
A welcome drink of beer, sparkling or wine awaits on arrival, with more available throughout the day.
Hear directly from Robin and Frances as they share the stories behind their latest books, followed by an audience Q&A hosted by friend of Alsahwa, Deb Caruso from IN Publishing, and and the chance to have your copy signed.
Every guest also takes home a jar of Alsahwa's own honey, a little taste of the Estate to enjoy long after the lunch ends.
Robin joins us to talk through Flamingos Aren't Born Pink, a raw and hopeful story of grief, resilience and family. Frances brings The Nocturnals, a warm and witty novel about loneliness, friendship and finding your people.
Tickets are $95 per person and include lunch, welcome drink, the author session and Q&A, book signing, and your honey to take home.
Numbers are limited, we'd love to have you at the table.
