What to expect
The participating venues don’t just show up – they each work hard to re-create their signature ambiance in the fresh setting, so you get the genuine vibe. It’s an opportunity to discover, or re-discover, the best in your own town.
And because unique events tend to draw fascinating people, it’s a place to see and be seen, whether you’re hanging with your own crew, socialising with an entirely new one – or both!
These are one-of-a-kind events

Victoria Yards is a multifaceted space within Lorentzville, Johannesburg. Home of various creative tenants and events venue. Victoria Yards was not always a home for creative minds, learners and entrepreneurs. Purpose built as a steam laundry in the early 1940's, the property has changed little in the way of the original buildings, standing derelict for a while before being occupied by informal traders.
