Events in Free State
The Free State offers wide open country for events, from farm and guest-farm weddings and sandstone-hill venues around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith to hotels and conference venues in Bloemfontein. The city also hosts graduations, school functions, matric dances and church gatherings, while Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg book corporate functions, community days and birthdays. Summers are hot with sharp thunderstorms and winters bring frost and very cold nights, so tent heating and wind security are worth asking about. Many farm venues lie far from town. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg, and travel to farms and eastern towns.
Typical marquee hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a clear or lined marquee with a raised floor for a wine farm or garden reception
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a branded launch or awards dinner in a framed marquee with lighting and power
- School events and matric dances: a matric dance or prize-giving venue on the school grounds, with a proper floor
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a formal marquee for cultural ceremonies, Bedouin-style weddings and large family functions
- Conferences, launches and expos: an exhibition or breakaway space attached to a lodge or showground
- Birthdays and private parties: a 21st or 60th with a lined ceiling, a dance floor and a bar inside
- Festivals, markets and sports days: VIP lounges, hospitality areas and sponsor tents at sports days and events
