Events at Wild & the Sage

Check out our calendar to see what events are coming up in the bookshop. Everyone’s welcome to be part of our community – feel free to drop in for whatever takes your fancy.

We're all about sharing stories.

Since opening in 2022, Wild & the Sage has welcomed Booker Prize-winning authors, speakers from Galle Literary Festival and even Santa himself. Our regular schedule features book clubs, author talks and storytime sessions for younger readers. We also love to host music nights, creative workshops and seasonal celebrations at our independent bookshop.
