Have The Last Word

If you are looking for something a little different this weekend, head out to Contermanskloof Wine Farm in Durbanville for the Flamjangled Tea Party…  When trying to find more information for this event I was whisked into an Alice in Wonderland type of daydream when I came upon their website, which promises “A melting pot of musical mayhem, artistic tomfoolery and absolute hilarity”.

Live music, themed areas, performance art, dressing up and over the top theatrics can be expected amongst other slightly non ‘normal’ entertainment,  at this 2 day ode to everything fun and fanciful.  There will even be a world record breaking attempt for the largest coupled waltz so make sure your partner is close at hand, or if you are the adventurous type, just find someone there :)

‘The Tea Garden’ opens early on Saturday and goes on into the evening, ‘The Munged Bean Shebeen’ and ‘Out of Site Café’ will be hosting artists with the names of Kool and his Wang, A Kettle Called Black and Katie Cup – none of who I’ve heard of before but strangely, talents I would like to experience.

There are camping facilities for those who would like to stay the night, a place to swim should you get hot (which is highly likely given the heat we have been experiencing here) and numerous food stalls and other fun places to poke around in.  The message I got from researching this event was come and have some fun, reconnecting with your inner child and living out your most playful childhood fantasies - I have no exuses not to go, hope you will too.
