Cape Town foodies, wine lovers, and rugby fanatics – clear your calendar for Saturday, 27 September.
The Craft & Cork Festival is back at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, and it’s pouring on the flavour, fizz, and fun.
This isn’t just about the Grade 3 Matchem and Diana Stakes—though the thundering hooves and race-day buzz make for one electric backdrop.
- It’s about everything else wrapped around it: ice-cold craft beer, bubbly tastings, gourmet food trucks, a vibrant market, and more gees than a Bok game in extra time.
What’s on the Menu
Start the day with a browse through the Trackside Market, where local makers are bringing the goods—think handmade décor, stylish clothing, and that one-of-a-kind gift you didn’t know you needed. The kids’ zone opens bright and early at 10am, keeping the little ones happy while you sip and shop.
When thirst calls, head straight to the Beer & Bubbles Garden, opening from 11am. With ice-cold craft brews and crisp sparkling tastings on offer, it’s the perfect spot to kick back and soak in the vibe.
Feeling bold? Try your luck on the rodeo bull or battle it out in beer pong—no under-18s allowed, obviously.
Racing, Rugby & Fashion
Between the live roaming performers, kids’ races, and racing action on the track, there’s never a dull moment. But the real prize? The Best Dressed Competition.
-
The Ultimate Bok Fan showdown. Jerseys, face paint, flags—go all out and you could walk away with bragging rights and prizes.
As the sun starts to dip, it’s time to rally around the big screen for the Springboks vs Los Pumas . Because what’s a South African weekend without rugby and a cold one in hand?
