Everyone is welcome! The organisers have received permission to gather in Wimbledon park and braai together on Sunday, 24th September. This is the third year in a row. It’s a bring-&-braai picnic. So bring along your portable braais, your braai packs, picnic baskets, snacks, drinks and anything else you think you’ll need for a day out in the park. Please wear anything SOUTH AFRICAN 🙂

This year’s event is going to be bigger and better thanks to the event’s official sponsor – SHOWMAX. With their support Heritage Day is going to have lots of great South African entertainment.

There will also be a few stalls selling South African food and crafts from boerewors and biltong to samoosas and SA wine, SA flag accessories and jewellery.
