It's the weekend baby!

The weekend is finally here and if you're stuck for things to do, check out this list of great activities.

For the fit and adventurous-  The Colour me Crazy Run:

If you didn’t make it to the Holi One festival  this year or the colour run last weekend and you are suffering from FOMO because of your friends epic paint bomb effect photos on facebook , now’s your chance. This Saturday, the Colour Me Crazy Run and colour festival will take place at the West Coast Ostrich Ranch. Live bands such as Locnville, Goodluck and Roger Goode will all be performing. The 5-km run is for all ages and all fitness levels. All you need to do is where white and bring protection for your eyes. You can purchase tickets via quicknet.co.za and costs R290 a person. Colour packets can be bought at the venue.

 For the Foodies- The Secret Festival at Spier:

Indulge in good food and wine at the Spier secret festival in Stellenbosch, on Friday and Saturday. Master chefs spill their best kept secrets, family recipes and discuss farming. This not to miss event explores the latest trends in the culinary sphere and honours South Africa’s best wine the Chenin Blanc. If you can’t attend the food seminar on the Friday by top chefs, you can enjoy the secret market on Saturday from nine until three.

For the die hard Rugby Fans:

The Currie Cup is played between August and October and is South Africa's foremost provincial rugby competition and the oldest of its kind in the world, it was first played in 1889. The Sharks take on Western Province at five pm at Newlands Stadium. Tickets are unfortunately all sold out, so if you're heading to a pub or bar, especially in the Newlands area, get there early to avoid disappointment. 

For the art lovers:

Head to Casa Labia in Muizenberg to see the Irma Stern Exhibition By The Sea. The exhibition includes several studies from her first trip to Madeira in 1931. Cate Wood Hunter, the curator describes this exhibition as a ‘contemporary group exhibition featuring seascapes in a variety of mediums that supersede the representation of the sea, beach or harbour as a picturesque scene: but pose questions as to how we see, explore, experience and disrupt this fragile environment.'  The By the Sea Exhibition  is on until the 24th November from Tuesday to Sunday, 10h00-1600.


Add a bit of colour to your life this weekend with the Colour Run.
