Culture at Kirstenbosch

Kirstenbosch Gardens offers not only gardens but culture in the form of musical concerts, sculpture displays and art exhibitions.

Musical concerts are held every Sunday afternoon during the summer months on the lawns at Kirstenbosch - featuring mostly local bands from jazz to reggae bands to the Philharmonic Orchestra. In winter smaller concerts are held in the Silvertree Restuarant around a huge roaring open fireplace. Brian Adams claims that the lawns is his favourite concert venue in the world!

Kistenbosch also has a sculpture garden, displaying unique stone sculptures from Zimbabwe which blend perfectly into the background of the gardens.

The function halls and restuarants regularly hold exhibitions of local and international artists, and once a month a craft market is held around the stone cottages at the entrance to the gardens.
