Cape Town Backgammon /weekend

When it rains stay indoors … but not at home

Weekly backgammon, D&D nights, flower workshops & more

Last updated: Thursday, 4 June 2026

Cape Town doesn’t slow down when the weather turns bad. In fact, the city is packed with plenty of indoor plans that are far more fun than sitting under a blanket doomscrolling. Think jazz jam sessions, backgammon nights on Bree Street, Dungeons & Dragons meetups, flower workshops, and 26 more indoor ideas for gloomy days.

MINI CITY OF PRETEND PLAY

Maison Play Café leans into a full pretend-play setup, with a space that feels like a tiny city than a typical play café. Kids move between themed zones like a supermarket, bakery, kitchen, dress-up station and car repair shop, while parents settle in with coffee and something to eat nearby.

Hours: Daily, 9am to 6pm
Cost: From free to R290, book via Maison Play Café’s website
