Events in Kimberley
Kimberley is the Northern Cape's capital and a heritage city, with Big Hole surrounds and old Victorian buildings that make striking event backdrops. Weddings use historic halls, guesthouses and garden venues, while the city's hotels and conference venues host government workshops, mining and agricultural meetings and sporting events. In Galeshewe and Roodepan, families hold funerals, unveilings and traditional ceremonies in yards and community halls. Schools hold matric dances and prize-givings from August onward. Summers are very hot and dry with occasional storms, and winters are cold and clear with frosty nights. Planners and hire companies are based in Kimberley, serving farms and towns across the Diamond Fields and Barkly West.
