Events in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a history-minded town on the Klip River, and its events reflect that. Battlefield tours and heritage weekends bring visitors, hotels and guest farms take small weddings and conferences, and the town hall and school grounds host matric dances, church fetes and community gatherings. Ezakheni and Steadville see traditional ceremonies, funerals and family celebrations in large tents. Summers run hot with heavy storms rolling off the Drakensberg, and winters are dry and cold at night. Planners and hire companies are few and based in town, so booking early matters, and many suppliers also serve Colenso, Estcourt and the Berg resorts a little further on.
