The second Cape Country Picnic Festival is approaching, so haul the kids and drive to this gorgeous picnic spot to relish three days of music, food, fun and country magnificence...


Read more about the Cape Country Picnic Festival 2008.

Taking place at the beautiful Bien Donne Farm in Simondium, (half-way between Paarl and Franschhoek) the Cape Country Picnic Festival offers 3 days of balmy fun for the whole family.

Visitors will be accommodated on the
large lawns surrounded by oak trees, exhibitors, an arts and crafts market and food stalls. There's something for everyone and kids are most welcome - there's a kiddies corner for toddlers as well as organised games and activities to entertain the youngsters.

This idyllic atmosphere also features live background music staged by local performers.

You may bring your own picnic essentials like cutlery, wine glasses and blankets, etc., but you'll also be able to buy such utensils at the festival.

Purchase picnic bites and goodies
from the exhibitors and food stalls; a feast of bakes, delicatessens, cheese, food and wine will be for on offer. So arriving empty handed is actually highly recommended!

No food, beverages or alcohol will be admitted at the gates.

Tickets can be bought at the gate or at computicket; for more info contact Chris de Klerk on 0861 222 335

Molo says: "CapeTownMagazine.com features a variety of things to do in and around the Mother City this summer.

"For more fun under the South African sun with family and friends, do check out the Appletiser Summer Sunset Concerts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town. A thriving and ever popular event, these concerts are a treat for young and old to enjoy mainly local artists, whilst basking in the glory of the mountainous and botanical views, and of course, the majestic sunset.
