Events in Free State
The Free State offers wide open country for events, from farm and guest-farm weddings and sandstone-hill venues around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith to hotels and conference venues in Bloemfontein. The city also hosts graduations, school functions, matric dances and church gatherings, while Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg book corporate functions, community days and birthdays. Summers are hot with sharp thunderstorms and winters bring frost and very cold nights, so tent heating and wind security are worth asking about. Many farm venues lie far from town. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg, and travel to farms and eastern towns.
Typical decor hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a ceremony arch, table centrepieces, candles and a draped head table
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: branded colour themes, stage backdrops and centrepieces for gala dinners
- School events and matric dances: matric dance themes, stage dressing and entrance features
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: simple white draping, flowers and candles for unveilings and memorial teas
- Conferences, launches and expos: stage dressing, registration desk styling and simple table arrangements
- Birthdays and private parties: a theme-matched table, backdrop and statement piece for a 21st or 50th
- Festivals, markets and sports days: hanging installations, flags and lounge areas to make a market feel finished
Local tips for Free State
Most suppliers for Free State work from here: planners and hire companies in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg.

A quote normally covers hire items, setup and strike, flowers extra, and 3 to 6 hours before doors open. Locally: frosty winter nights and hot summers with storms: ask about heating and wind-secured tents.
