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 event equipment hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: crockery, glassware, linen, a dance floor, heaters and a generator for a farm venue
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: bar counters, glassware and heaters for year-end functions and client dinners
- School events and matric dances: crockery for prize-givings, dance floors for matric dances and generators for fun days
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: large pots, urns, crockery and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church functions
- Conferences, launches and expos: urns, crockery and trolleys for tea breaks and lunch, plus a generator as backup
- Birthdays and private parties: glasses, cutlery, a bar and heaters for a home party under a tent
- Festivals, markets and sports days: generators, bars, fridges, heaters and lighting for markets and concerts
