On Thursday, young and old guests arrived for a sold-out show and a night to remember to see the newly constructed, unique and yet familiar theatre which will showcase the likes of Prime Circle, Majozi and Jan Blohm, to name a few in the coming weeks.
As can be expected from the Barnyard venue, snacks and drinks were available on arrival and champagne served to usher in a new era.
Guests were welcomed back by the performers of the rock-and-roll circus show Big Top Rock.
The local artists had the audience on their feet singing along to the likes of Elvis Presley, Elton John, Michael Jackson and ACDC.
The show featured acrobatics, trapeze, pole and silk performances.
