Oceanside ice skating, Shakespearean drama and exhilarating sports are guaranteed to keep you entertained in the Mother City this weekend.
Ice-skating by the sea
You don’t have to be an ice-skating champion to enjoy the cool rink by the sea at the V&A Waterfront. Twirl in impressive circles, fall good-naturedly or just hold onto the edge, but whatever you do, don’t miss out on this unique experience.
Housed inside a giant inflatable cube outside the Mugg & Bean entrance, this ice rink at the water’s edge is a great place to spend quality time with the family on a hot summer’s day.
Tickets for an hour on the ice are just R50 while spectators can watch for R10. Sunday is the last day for this fantastic attraction, so book your tickets now on +27 (0)21 408 7500.
