Don’t miss the dazzling Garden of Lights
It is time again to step into a festive season wonderland at the Garden of Lights, located in the gardens at the five-star Peermont D’oreale Grande Hotel at Emperors Palace from December 2 to January 8.
This magical event will feature dazzling lights and colourful characters that have delighted over 900 000 visitors and promises to welcome countless more.
There will be an entry fee into the garden of R25 per person, with all proceeds from ticket sales to be donated to the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) and the Peermont Children’s and Education Trusts that benefit various community development programmes.
Booking is essential.
“Many of our families have been affected by the horrible scourge of cancer and have lost loved ones to this disease. And many South Africans are unable to afford education for their children. This is our way of ensuring that a beautiful experience being the Garden of Lights can work for a brighter future for many,” said Mark Jakins, Peermont marketing and regional operations executive.
“We are proud of our association with the Cansa and Peermont Trusts for children’s education and upliftment. Please join us over the festive season to spread a little cheer.”
The lights spectacle will make for a perfect night out for individuals and families, and younger visitors to the event will be particularly pleased with a variety of exciting funfair rides.
Provided by Happyland, some of the rides include Jump and Smile, Break Dancer, Freeway Fantasy, Helter Skelter and the all-time favourite Ferris wheel.
Stalls selling a variety of food and beverage will also be available, including festive season paraphernalia.
As a keepsake, children can also have a photograph taken with Santa Claus at Santa’s Grotto.
The gates will be open from 7pm to 10pm daily, weather permitting. In the event of overcast and rainy weather, ticket holders will be contacted via SMS about moving their bookings to a different date.
