Selected Annual Events in and around Cape Town


The Southern Peninsula is well renowned for its natural splendour and beauty encompassing mountain, land, sea, lakes, fauna and flora.

Not so well known is the wealth of cultural diversity of its people - from storytellers par excellence to actors - from designers to jewellers - from dancers to artists.

This programme brings it all together - a showcase for our cultures set in beautiful and unusual venues - storytelling around a fire at Rondevlei with background sound provided by the resident hippo’s!

Gershwin and All that Jazz on board an ex-cable restorer vessel....

Tommy, the fisherman, moving up in life at the beautifully restored Hout Bay Manor...

A showcase of local designing talent at the splendid Tarragona Lodge.....

And much, much more!
