Pietermaritzburg notes on tables, tents & party hire
Frame tents and marquees go on sports fields and lawns for civic launches and school open days, often with flooring if the grass is wet. Edendale and Imbali funeral tents are usually peg and pole tents set in the yard on a Friday. For Midlands weddings in winter, ask for clear sides, heaters and lighting. Round tables with floor-length cloths suit receptions, trestles suit fundraisers, and school fetes book party hire.

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.
