Stellenbosch: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Students and wine estates set the rhythm in Stellenbosch. The university brings graduations, residence formals, sports days and conferences, so seating demand spikes at the start of the year, during exams and in graduation weeks. Wine estates along the Helshoogte, Annandale and Polkadraai roads host weddings, launches and harvest events that want marquees, Tiffany or cross back chairs and lounge furniture. Kayamandi, Cloetesville and Idas Valley hold funerals, church gatherings and family events with a tent and plastic chairs. Some hire firms are based in Stellenbosch and Technopark, and many deliver from Cape Town and Somerset West. Summer heat, the south-easter and winter rain all matter, so plan shade, wind and flooring around the season.
