Useful concert information
Due to the popularity of the Summer Sunset Concert series, it’s advisable to purchase your tickets in advance. Tickets range in price from R65 – R95 for adults and R40 – R70 for scholars. It’s a good idea to arrive at the venue early to get a good spot on the grass – gates open at 15.30. Take some friends, pack a picnic, and make an afternoon of it on the lush slopes of the gardens. Guests are allowed to bring food, drinks and alcohol onto the premises.
The sunset concert series is a highlight of the Cape Town summer, and well worth attending. Book your tickets now for the last of these fantastic music events for this summer.
