Boxing Day is often that deliciously in-between moment of the festive season — the gifts are unwrapped, the fridge is still full, and the only real plan is to enjoy good company.
At Bike Forge in Tulbagh, that easygoing spirit is being turned up a notch with their much-anticipated Boxing Day Bash on 26 December 2025, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most enjoyable post-Christmas gatherings in the valley.
Set against the rugged charm of De Heuvel Estate on the R46 between Tulbagh and Wolseley, Bike Forge has built a reputation for being more than just a pit stop. It’s a place where great food, ice-cold drinks, motorcycles, and music collide — and Boxing Day is when it all comes together.
- This year’s bash brings a full afternoon of live music from 12:00 to 18:00, with Luna Lane stepping into the spotlight as part of an epic three-band lineup. Known for their raw energy and magnetic stage presence, Luna Lane delivers the kind of sound that feels right at home in an open-air venue with a drink in hand and friends close by. Expect music that’s loud enough to lift the mood but laid-back enough to keep the day easy.
Of course, no Bike Forge gathering would be complete without the food. Guests can settle in for hearty, crowd-pleasing dishes designed for sharing, alongside cold beers and refreshing drinks that pair perfectly with a summer afternoon. It’s the kind of place where lunch turns into late afternoon without anyone noticing — exactly how Boxing Day should be.
For those keen to make a proper getaway of it, accommodation is available nearby, making it easy to enjoy the full experience without rushing off. Tickets are available via Quicket, and with limited availability, early booking is highly recommended.
For anyone looking to trade post-Christmas couch time for live music, good food, and a genuinely festive atmosphere, the Boxing Day Bash at Bike Forge promises a celebration that feels relaxed, spirited, and unmistakably local.
