2011 sees the sixth Uplands Festival during the last weekend of May (Friday 27 - Sunday 29 May 2011)

Following the growing success 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. There will be brand new theatre shows and the beer marquee will be kept lively by jazz and other musicians.

The Super Rugby will be screened in the beer and food marquees. A nail-biting rugby match also takes place between Uplands College and Penryn, alongside competitive hockey and netball. The Equestrian Centre is hosting a graded event with show jumping on Saturday and dressage on Sunday.

The Produkta Uplands Festival of 2011 sees the launch of an annual MTB Classic on Sunday morning. The three different routes are sure to entice the cyclists back next year: a 50 km ride, an 18km ride suitable for families and a 5 km fun ride for the little ones.

The craft market will have many new stalls from around the country, and the children's entertainment area goes BIG again with giant slide, water walkers, diesel train on a track, mechanical surfboard and parachute rocket, to name but a few of the many attractions.

The food marquee will again be full of tantalising 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!

This family event should not be missed.
