We know you’re going to ask! The weatherman predicts a sunny day of 27°C with a balmy, clear evening – no rain expected.

Food Glorious Food

We’ve tried to arrange something for everyone with food stalls from Bespoke Food Matters (think beef shish or falafel kebab in pita), Butter Me Up Banting (bacon doughnut anyone?), The Good Food Truck (smoked feta, wild mushroom, mozzarella risotto), Sushi Bus (fresh sushi made on site), Hudson’s Burger Joint (the build a burger worx) Che Argentine Grill (Empanadas and meat rolls), Alibaba Shwarma (includes vegetarian spring rolls and samoosas) as well as the Beignet Brothers (famous for their Korean chicken and pork sticks).

For the sweet tooth: Paquito’s Treatery will be selling their Spanish Churros (dripping with chocolate sauce) alongside Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream.

For your coffee fix head for the Mobile Coffee Café (ask about their salted caramel hot chocolate). And if you still need a craft beer or a cocktail, a full bar service will be available from Molecular Bars.

The MC

Attendees of the event will know how important the MC is – we listen and obey – especially when reserving artworks! This year we’re thrilled to have the dazzling Mzansi actress and host, Candice Modiselle as the Master of Ceremonies.
