Join our next book club.
Sunday 25 May • 6PM
Our book club is great way to meet fellow readers in Galle. We choose a book, then get together on the last Sunday of the month for a relaxed chat about it. Attendance is free and the vibe is sociable. You can order food and drinks from our menu.
Space is limited in the bookshop, so please book ahead (contact +94 767 893 840). Copies of the latest book club title are available in store.



Café at Wild & the Sage
Like the books on our shelves, our kitchen is home to a library of flavours. From bites to bigger plates, we’ve created an inclusive menu that caters to all tastebuds. It’s locally sourced, pretty healthy and – most importantly – can be eaten while reading. Whether you want food for thought or a cup of the best coffee in Sri Lanka (customers’ words, not ours), drop by when you're next in Galle.
