Events in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the gateway to the Midlands Meander, so weddings here often mean country gardens, farm venues and lodges around Hilton, Howick and Karkloof. In town, Scottsville and Hayfields offer older halls, school grounds and church venues for matric dances, anniversaries and funerals, and the Royal Show grounds host large public events. Students from the university and colleges keep birthday and graduation parties busy through the year. Summers are warm with heavy afternoon storms, and winter nights turn cold, so heaters matter for evening events. Planners and hire companies are based in Willowton and Mkondeni and travel up the N3 into the Midlands.

Typical jumping castle hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a small castle in a garden corner to keep the children busy while the adults enjoy the reception
- School events and matric dances: several castles, slides and obstacle courses for fun days and sports days, with teacher supervision
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: castles for church family days, community fetes and year-end gatherings, usually on the field
- Birthdays and private parties: a themed castle for a child's party, and an adult castle for a 21st or 40th with the right limits
