Events in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga is known for bush and escarpment venues, from game lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger Park to garden venues around White River, Sabie and Graskop. Weddings, corporate retreats and team building are the main bookings, with conferences in Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and community events, funerals and church gatherings in towns across the province. Lowveld summers are hot, humid and stormy, while Highveld winter nights are cold, so heating and shade both matter. Many lodges are remote, which affects delivery and setup time. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, and travel to lodges and farms.
Typical tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a garden or farm tent over round tables, with sidewalls and lighting for an evening reception
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a team-building day or year-end braai under cover on a lawn or sports field
- Conferences, launches and expos: a temporary breakaway or catering tent beside the main venue
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church tents seating hundreds on a yard or street
- Birthdays and private parties: a backyard tent for a 21st or 50th over tables, a bar and a dance floor
