Pietermaritzburg notes on special seating & dressing
Conference chairs in theatre rows are a staple for provincial departments, municipal briefings and imbizos in community halls. University events in Scottsville and school matric farewells call for chair covers, sashes and a throne pair for the photos. Midlands weddings often add a lounge area by a fireplace or under trees, and wheelchair hire serves patients going home from the city's hospitals and families visiting for graduations.
Pietermaritzburg: the events, the weather and the hire firms
As the provincial capital, Pietermaritzburg books a lot of formal seating: government functions, imbizos and launches want rows of chairs, a marquee and a stage for speakers. The city's many schools add prize-givings, sports days and matric farewells, and the university campus in Scottsville has graduations and residence events. Edendale, Imbali and Northdale keep a steady flow of funerals, unveilings and religious gatherings. Up the hill, the Midlands country venues around Hilton and Howick draw weddings that need Tiffany or cross back chairs and a frame tent on the lawn. Hire firms are spread between the industrial areas and the townships. Summers are hot with afternoon storms, and Midlands winter nights can be very cold, so ask about tent sides and heating.
Typical cocktail table hire requests in the area come from:
- Municipalities, clubs and communities: a mayoral reception, a festival VIP area or a sponsors' function at a sports day
- Churches and faith gatherings: a fellowship tea or a fundraising evening in the church hall or garden
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a few tall tables for tea and refreshments after a memorial service
