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 security requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
- 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
- Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
- School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance
- Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
