Free State notes on tables, tents & party hire
Peg and pole tents suit deep farm soil around Bethlehem, Harrismith and Kroonstad, but give them room for guy ropes. In Bloemfontein suburbs like Langenhoven Park and Fichardt Park, stretch tents shade garden parties and 21sts. Frame marquees on school fields handle the wind on the open plains. Trestle tables with cloths serve church conferences and stokvel year-end lunches. Ask about flooring if rain has fallen the week before.
Hiring for events in Free State
Sandstone cliffs and poplar-lined farm roads in the eastern Free State have made places like Clarens and Bethlehem a favourite for country weddings, often with guests from Gauteng and stock hired from wherever the nearest big firm sits. Bloemfontein is the centre of the rest: university graduations, government functions, church gatherings and the funerals and celebrations of Mangaung's townships. Welkom and Kroonstad have their own firms for mine and farm events, and Sasolburg is often served from the Vaal side. Frost is real here: winter nights get very cold and tents need sides and heaters. In summer, watch for hail and the soft ground that follows a storm on farm lawns.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Weddings and engagements: dressed tables, a lounge corner, a top table and a dance floor for the reception
- Schools, colleges and universities: tables, chairs, a stage and a dance floor for a matric farewell or a prize-giving
- Municipalities, clubs and communities: a stage, chairs and tables for an imbizo, a festival or a municipal function

Bookings range widely: from one lounge set to a full venue fit-out.
