2009
sees the 4th Vodacom Uplands Festival on the weekend
of 29 and 30 May 2009
Following the growing success each year of the festival,
this year promises to be better again. Sponsors and
organisers have pulled out all the stops to entertain
the lowveld in style. The usual favourites such as
Ian von Memerty and Liam Magner with his new show
SPUN will be back in the theatre, and the beer marquee
will be kept lively with Jazz music from Mozambique.
Should a South African team have done well enough
to host the Super 14 final in South Africa, it will
be screened in the beer and food marquees. A nail
biting rugby match will also take place on the field
between Penryn and Uplands College, alongside competitive
hockey and netball.
The craft market will have a new feel to it this year
with many new stalls from around the country, and
the children’s entertainment area goes BIG this
year with giant slides, mini quad bikes, diesel trains
on a track and climbing walls, to name but a few of
the many attractions.
The food marquee will again be full of tantalizing
and exciting creations, to visit after a show or a
stop off at the Art Exhibition,
which is growing to be one of the biggest in the Lowveld!

happening throughout this exciting weekend.
