The Voorkamerfest

now in its 11th year sees 21 original performances staged in residents’ homes – being invited into residents’ homes to see a world-class show, is not the only unique aspect of this festival - the entire event is designed around the element of surprise as ticket holders do not know what shows they are about to see. Rather than buying tickets to see specific shows and artists, promoting a spirit of serendipity sees visitors buying a ticket for a performance route, consisting of 3 separate performances. The small town becomes a hive of activity as local taxi owners buzz visitors from show to show on their set routes between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon as diverse acts by nationally as well as internationally, recognised artists are performed. Shows range from mime to cabaret and comedy to drama, adding to the diverse flavour of this one-of-a-kind experience...visit for a ‘sneak preview’, but don’t ruin your surprise!! The festive, child-friendly atmosphere of the Voorkamerfest weekend is enhanced by outside entertainment and arts, crafts and food stalls at Evita se Perron, where each route departs and ends. The town also has a number of restaurants and coffee shops all supporting the festival and welcoming all who are ready to soak up the good ole country hospitality!
