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.
