Events in Newcastle
Newcastle sits at the northern edge of KwaZulu-Natal, and its events are shaped by a mix of mining and industrial employers, large township communities in Madadeni and Osizweni, and visitors from Gauteng on the N11 and N3. Community halls, church grounds and sports fields host weddings, funerals, umembeso and big family gatherings, many with tents and hired chairs by the hundred. Hotels and lodges in town take company functions and conferences. Summer brings hot days and fierce storms, while winter nights are cold and dry, so heaters and sidewalls are common requests. Hire companies and planners serve the town from Newcastle itself and make longer deliveries to Utrecht and Dannhauser.
Typical event equipment hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: large pots, urns, crockery and trestles for funerals, unveilings and church functions
- 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
- Birthdays and private parties: glasses, cutlery, a bar and heaters for a home party under a tent
- School events and matric dances: crockery for prize-givings, dance floors for matric dances and generators for fun days
