Baxter Theatre

The word “theatre” might bring forth some eye rolling to some people, but the Baxter has successfully entertained people from all cultures and ages since opening its doors in 1977.  It supports all types of South African performance art, from ballet to comedy. The impressive building and multicultural reputation of this magnificent theatre is something that needs to be experienced!

Grootte Schuur Estate

Today this is a museum and can be toured by appointment only but if you love history, architecture or find politics intriguing, pick up the phone. It is well worth a visit and considering it was designed by Sir Herbert Baker it will certainly impress one way or the other. 

Lawn Bowls

It may seem simple but this game needs some serious skill. Anyone who has tried their hand at bowling can attest to the fact that making a ball roll towards a specific target is not easy. Change the pins and large ball to two smaller balls, add grass and wind to the equation and you have the perfect recipe for a fun day outdoors.

Virtual Sound Studio

If you’ve ever considered yourself to be a bit of a composer or the next big DJ to hit the decks, you have to try this. Without any prior music knowledge this studio gives you the opportunity to learn everything there is to know about electronic sound effects. It is conveniently situated at the Baxter Theatre and offers once off courses as well as long term courses. Kids ages 6 and up are welcome.
