Last update 23 July 2018.
Sadly, Ratanga Junction closed its doors on May 1. But, we have a list of other great venues to host a corporate function. Not only is Ratanga Junction home to a wide array of rides, attractions and family-friendly fun, but it is also a unique place to host a corporate function. So, if you are looking to celebrate a milestone in your business or you just want to show your employees that you value their work by throwing a fun-filled get-together, then look no further than the “Wildest Place in Africa”. Do note: while the theme park is open on a seasonal basis – for most school holidays and special bonus days - it is available for function hire 364 days a year (closed Christmas Day).
Conveniently located just 13kms outside of the Cape Town CBD, Ratanga Junction offers a variety of awesome venues to facilitate large- and small-scale parties. Whether you’re looking to host a sit-down dinner just metres above the Ratanga River or are interested in having a product launch in a venue that boasts a state-of-the –art monitor, then this is absolutely the spot for you.
Not to mention, the folks at Bridgeways (Ratanga’s events team) are dedicated to providing a bespoke package with top notch in-house catering options and expert audio-visual solutions to ensure that your “function at the Junction” is perfectly tailored to your needs (and wants).
Corporate Function Venues at Ratanga Junction in Cape Town
The Walled City
This is one of Ratanga’s largest and most versatile venues, and it is perfect if you want to go all out and host a stage act of sorts. The theme park’s décor and catering teams can transform this expansive spot into pretty much anything your heart desires and pocket allows. Previous ‘themes’ have included Wild West, District Six and Under African Skies.
Capacity: This venue can accommodate 750 guest seated in banqueting style or 900 seated at benches. For a concert or stage act, up to 4000 standing guests can be accommodated.
Also great for: Product launches and year-end parties
Smugglers
Perched on the north bank of the Ratanga River, this double-storey venue is slightly secluded from the general hustle and bustle of the busy theme park. With its expansive bar and floor-to-ceiling windows, this space is begging to be transformed into whatever you can conjure up for an exciting corporate function. Not to mention, during the summer months, guests can sip on cocktails and snack on canapés on the timber deck, which is close to the water’s edge, on the lower level of the building.
Capacity: Smugglers can accommodate a total of 400 guests seated across both levels.
Also great for: Cocktail parties, large dinners
Ratanga Officer’s Club
This colonial-style site features stunning beech wood floors and dramatic burgundy drapes. In addition to being a sought-after banqueting facility, the Officer’s Club is frequently utilised as a venue for corporate conferences, and the main dining hall can accommodate seating styles of cinema, classroom and U-shaped.
Capacity: A slightly more intimate setting, the Ratanga Officer’s Club can host between 40 and 120 people.
Also great for: small and large parties, product launches, day conferences
Bundu Café
The African -themed Bundu Café boasts a sprawling deck that overlooks that Ratanga River, which makes it a great corporate function venue during the summer months, and a crackling fireplace, which makes it suitable for a soirée in winter. A popular event option at this riverside spot is to host a laidback braai where guests can watch the sunset from the aforementioned deck.
Capacity: The Afro-chic café can host between 60 and 160 guests.
Also great for: cocktail parties, intimate dinners
The MegaVu Theatre
Boasting a large cinema-style screen, the MegaVu theatre is a fantastic space for conferences and corporate functions where audiences need to be captivated by one focal point. Its super spacious seating set-up, static stage and state-of-the–art screen (it’s even surrounded by a theatrical curtain, how cool?) is best for presentations, products launches and smaller stage shows.
Capacity: The theatre can seat 322 guests.
HIRE THE ENTIRE RATANGA JUNCTION FOR A DAY
Yes, you read that correctly. For an exclusive, all-access experience of the funky theme park, there is the option to book the entire premises for a day. This is ideal for corporate family days, fundraisers or even community development projects. Ratanga can accommodate up to 5000 guests at a time.
