Dates to diarise:
This year the Rand Show will be running from April 19 until April 28.
Cape Town’s famous Zip Zap Circus will be on hand to entertain with breathtaking performances from April 26 to 28.
Early-bird specials:
A limited number of early-bird tickets are now available.
Purchase of an early-bird ticket offers you a saving of up to R70 on the ticket price, meaning that for as little as R100 per adult and R50 per child, the whole family can come along.
This great saving includes free entry into the Gaming Pavilion, as well as an automatic entry for every adult ticket purchased to win a Suzuki Swift, sponsored by Suzuki South Africa.
Tickets are limited, so don’t miss out. Normal ticket prices are R80 for children under 17 years old and R150 per adult.
