Magical music, beer and bikes

Outdoors or indoors there’s plenty to entertain

WITH so many great events taking place around the province at the weekend, you’ll be spoilt for choice about what to do.

Here are a few ideas to help you make the most of your Saturday and Sunday.

Saggy Stone Beer and Music Festival:

Take a road trip to Robertson and make a weekend out of it at the annual Saggy Stone Beer and Music Festival.

The two- day festival is family-friendly and promises delicious food, some of South Africa’s biggest music acts – including Rubber Duc, Desmond & The Tutus and Jeremy Loops – and, of course, lots of great local beer.

So, if a weekend of live music and ice- cold beer is your thing, head on over to the Amandalia Farm, the home of Saggy Stone Brewing Company, which lies is at the foot of the Langeberg.

Doors open at 10.30am today, and the festival closes late tomorrow evening.

Tickets are available via nutickets.co.za.

Tsotsi, the Musical: Academy award- winning South African movie Tsotsi is experiencing a revival – on the stage of the Artscape Theatre.

Produced by Cape Town Opera, the musical stars hip hop artist Mxolisi “Zuluboy” Majozi as Tsotsi, with music composed by singer-songwriter Zwai Bala.

The production runs until next Saturday.

Tickets are available through Computicket.
