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 security requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: two guards at the gate and the grounds to watch the gifts, the cars and gatecrashers
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: access control at a launch or year-end function, with a guard on the bar and the parking
- School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
- Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
- Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a full team for gates, bag checks, crowd control and the stage, working to a written safety plan

A quote normally covers guards, uniforms, radios, a supervisor, and guards arrive 1 to 2 hours before guests. Locally: frosty winter nights and hot summers with storms: ask about heating and wind-secured tents.
