Head up the Garden Route this month to enjoy two fantastic festivals being held in Sedgefield and Knysna, where you will find a variety of good beer and wine, great food and lots of spring cheer!
Celebrating the launch of a new local craft beer, the normally sleepy town of Sedgefield comes alive on the 25th & 26th October 2014 for the 1st Annual Slow Town Beer Festival to be held at Scarab Village.
Along with the introduction of a golden new tipple, the festival promises unforgettable adventures into the world of barley, hops, and wine, with an array of beer and wine tastings, toe-tapping live music from an oompah band and a plethora of other great festivities!
The second not-to-be-missed event that will be taking place in the area is the Leisure Isle Festival, to be held from the 1 – 2 November 2014 in celebration of the beginning of spring.
Started in 2002 as an opportunity for local artists, crafters and hobbyists to display and sell their works, this popular festival has grown in leaps and bounds and is now a must-do for anyone who wants to experience the relaxed, laid-back vibe of the Knysna community that is so well known and loved. You can get all your Christmas shopping done here, with amazing bargains to be had, and enjoy fun socialising and gourmet food while you shop – the proceeds of which go to local charities and selected non-profit organisations.
Don’t miss out on any of these fantastic Garden Route activities by booking your accommodation early with a stay at the luxurious Turbine Hotel in Knysna.
This spectacular five-star boutique hotel is situated on the prestigious Thesen Island and offers elegant suites with deluxe amenities, an exclusive spa and wellness centre and breath-taking views of the surrounding lagoon. After a few days of fun in the sun at the festivals, take some time out to explore the beauty of Knysna and all there is to offer – explore the popular Knysna Waterfront, shuck oysters at one of the many fantastic restaurants or catch the magnificent sunset on a Knysna sunset cruise.
