Tables, tents & party hire in Pietermaritzburg: local notes

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.
