Plan Your Event in Harfield Village
With the festive season upon us, now is the time for celebrations and parties. Whether you’re getting your office year-end function plans underway, planning a kids’ party or preparing for a Christmas party like no other, here’s what you need to know to plan your event in Harfield Village.
Venues
You will certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to venues. If you’re going for a more traditional restaurant route, Second Avenue is home to a wide variety of eateries. Pizza, grills, Mexican, Thai, seafood, Caribbean… whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it on this bustling road. View our guide to restaurants in the village for some ideas.
For something less formal, there are a few good spots for picnics. Hampstead Park on the corner of Third Avenue and Hampstead Road has a picnic area. A little outside of the village, you will find Arderne Gardens on Main Road in Claremont, Wynberg Park on the corner of Klaassens and Trovato Link Roads or Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on Rhodes Drive in Newlands. You can also stay close to home, bringing the party to your house with world-class catering and delectable custom-made treats.
Catering
Harfield is privileged to have a number of highly skilled caterers in the village. Most of our restaurants also offer catering options in the form of platters that are perfect for groups. Caterers that will give you delicious meals delivered to your venue include Home-Leigh Kitchen (Leigh also does jaw-dropping cakes), Sophie’s Kitchen & Craft (her custom macarons are out of this world) and Pastries by Simba (he does High Tea boxes, along with various sweet and savoury treats). If you’re planning an outdoor event, Dial-a-Picnic offers a variety of baskets to suit every budget and taste.
Activities
Now that you’ve got the venue and food sorted, what about activities and things to do? For something a little different, you could also choose a venue such as The Crafter’s Cafe (old Home Bar – 53 Second Avenue). This new spot offers workshops along with a venue for hire. What could be more fun than a craft-themed event? Get Artsy on Second Avenue offers mosaic parties for kids. Evolution Dance (Studio 1, 45 Second Avenue) is the place to be for all things Salsa and Latin dance. One Night Only offers professional DJs and musicians for bigger parties, operating in Harfield and surrounds.
