Kimberley notes on tables, tents & party hire
Summer heat makes a stretch tent or a clear span marquee with good airflow a common request, and the firm will want to know whether the yard is sand, gravel or paving. Funerals in Galeshewe use peg and pole tents with trestles and cloths. Party hire in town covers jumping castles and slush machines. Ask whether long white tablecloths will be dusted by wind before the guests sit down.
Kimberley: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Kimberley is the hire hub for a large slice of the Northern Cape, so its firms often send chairs and tents far beyond the city, to Barkly West, Ritchie and farms along the rivers. In town, Galeshewe and Roodepan keep weekends busy with funerals, church gatherings and family celebrations, while the newer university, the schools and government offices add graduations, prize-givings and year-end functions. Weddings book farm venues and guest houses outside the city as well as gardens in Hadison Park and Beaconsfield. Stock is mostly local, with Bloemfontein firms quoting on large jobs. Summers are very hot and dry, winds kick up dust, and winter nights fall close to freezing, so plan shade and warmth.
Typical marquee and frame tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a closed frame tent for a large funeral or memorial when rain is likely
- Families and home celebrations: a frame tent on the lawn for a milestone birthday or a big family celebration
- Churches and faith gatherings: a long frame tent for a church conference, a revival or an Easter gathering
