Pretoria notes on special seating & dressing
State functions often specify conference chairs in theatre rows with a draped top table, and some ask for chair covers in a set colour. Matric farewells for the schools in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood book throne chairs and a lounge corner for the photo spot. Patients leaving the large hospitals near the city centre and in the east often hire a wheelchair by the week. Cocktail tables with stretch covers go to launches and receptions in Menlyn and Brooklyn.
Pretoria: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Government functions shape the hire calendar in Pretoria. National and provincial departments, the metro and the embassies book marquees, conference chairs and draped tables for imbizos, launches and commemorations, usually through a written quote request with a closing date and an order number. Graduation weeks at the University of Pretoria and Tshwane University of Technology add tents and chair rows on campus, and church bazaars and school fêtes fill the eastern suburbs. Funerals in Mamelodi, Atteridgeville and Soshanguve keep township tent firms busy on Fridays and Saturdays. Many larger hire firms run from Silverton, Pretoria West and Rosslyn. Summer storms build fast over the ridges in the afternoon, so ask for sides and a weighted frame on paving.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Municipalities, clubs and communities: a mayoral banquet or a heritage day dinner in a community hall
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: plain white or black covers on plastic chairs for the service in the tent
- Schools, colleges and universities: a matric farewell or prize-giving in the school hall with covered chairs
