After a successful inaugural event in 2014 at Buitenverwachting in Constantia, and second edition at the Glenellen Farm in Hout Bay, the frenchSUNSET pop-up picnic is back to add some much-needed joie de vivre to Cape Town social calendar. It is an escape to sunny, sweet Paris without boarding a plane. A true French experience with a Mzansi twist, this impromptu shindig offers you a day out in the
beautiful Cape with mouth-watering delicacies, live music, comedy, poetry, cooking demos and so much more. Upon arrival, ticket-holders each receive a small welcome bag including authentic French cheeses (specially imported for the event), a French Baguette, a bottle of one of SA’s finest wines and much more. Tickets holders are encouraged to bring in their own picnic basket. Aside from tucking into yummy delicacies, they will enjoy a string of amazing, yet diverse, talent throughout the day with a line-up including live performances by:
• Nationally Acclaimed Comedian Siv Ngesi
as the event’s host
• Poet Kyle Louw
A Local and international Live performance Line up
• Dj Didier
• Dj Ozy
• and more to be confirmed
A brand new addition to this year’s line-up is a cooking demonstration led by two French chefs. The Cape Town-based Nadège Lepoittevin-Dassé (www.nadegecuisine.co.za) will give you tips on how to be a master in your own kitchen while she cooks up a culinary storm. Executive pastry chef to France’s dignitaries Kamel Hamzaoui heads especially to the Mother City for this occasion to demonstrate some of his sweet pastry skills. A short movie will be screened outdoor during the event. As a family-friendly event (kids younger than 15 get in for free) there is a kiddies corner with a jumping castle and plenty fun activities. The dress theme for the event is blue, white and red (colours of France’s flag) and you are invited to dress the part – whether it’s one colour, two or even all three. Attendees can either opt for a seat at one of the large, lengthwise communal tables (bring your own décor to create a festive feel) or find a spot on the expansive greens to set up your own pocket of pleasure. By entering our raffle at the event, attendees stand a chance to win prizes donated by our sponsors, as well as the Grand prize (surprise). Raffle Entry is R30
