Events in Worcester
Worcester sits in the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains and surrounded by vineyards, orchards and packhouses. Farm weddings are popular on wine and fruit farms around Rawsonville, Robertson and Wolseley, often in barns, orchards and gardens where tents add shelter and a dance floor. Packhouse and cooperative companies host harvest events and year-end functions, and schools, churches and community halls in Zwelethemba and Avian Park hold matric dances, funerals and family celebrations. Summers are very hot and dry, and winter nights are cold with rain, so shade and heaters are common requests. Planners and hire companies work from Worcester and larger suppliers come from Paarl and Cape Town.
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
- School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance
- 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
- Festivals, markets and sports days: a full team for gates, bag checks, crowd control and the stage, working to a written safety plan
