Events in Middelburg
Middelburg is a farming and industrial town on the N4, and its events reflect both. Farm weddings under stretch tents among the maize fields around Hendrina and Belfast are popular, as are garden and guesthouse venues in Eastdene and Aerorand. Companies in the area hold year-end parties, training days and small conferences at local hotels and halls. In Mhluzi, families hold funerals, unveilings and traditional ceremonies in yards and community halls, and schools use their halls for matric dances and prize-givings. Winters are dry and bitterly cold at night, which makes heaters and covered tents worthwhile, while summer brings sudden storms. Planners and hire firms are based in town, with more choice in eMalahleni.
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
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
- 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
- Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
- Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a guard at the entrance and the car park of a large kids' party in a park or at a venue
