Unlike your average downy Wayzgoose, this year's Wayzgoose will be shod in gold to celebrate 50 years of Coach House! We are entering our golden years and would love to raise a glass, or three, with YOU.

In case you have never heard of a Wayzgoose, it was the traditional party given by a master printer to his workmen at the summer's end, when the season of working by candlelight began. Our annual Wayzgoose is more of a collegial get-together when friends, authors and readers can visit the Coach House, tour the premises and learn how books are printed and bound. Books, printing curios, snacks and refreshments will also be available throughout the evening. We are also planning some extra shiny displays to show off all the magic we've made in the last 50 years - bpNichol photobooth anyone?

Feel free to bring your sparkling friends, but please avoid including this golden goose in any event listings or public forums technically, the conditions of our liquor licence won't allow us to advertise in this manner.

Also, as a bonus, the purchase of any book at the Wayzgoose will score you a free drink ticket.
