Hilton Arts Festival
If you are a keen art lover, perhaps a trip to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands might just be what you need this August! Proudly hosted by Hilton College, the Hilton Arts Festival promises to be one for the books. In fact, some of SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY‘s favourites will also be there…
Spot Makers from The Old Mushroom Farm at the Hilton Arts Festival
Two of The Old Mushroom Farm‘s makers will be featured in Making Ground, the flagship exhibition at the inaugural KZN Art Fair during the Hilton Arts Festival. Celebrating the designers and craftspeople shaping contemporary South African material culture, the exhibition will bring together some of the region’s most exciting creative voices.
Alkaline will unveil new pieces from WAYST, a collection that transforms demolition rubble into beautifully crafted lighting and furniture, alongside new additions to the studio’s growing range of objects. Further to this, Crooks Goods will showcase its signature blend of industrial simplicity and refined craftsmanship, including its concrete Butler Sink and minimalist kitchen cabinetry.
Stay Longer and Enjoy Fringe Events, Food and Fine Design
If you’re visiting the festival, be sure to stop by Making Ground, and if you’d like to see where these ideas are made, their studios are based at The Old Mushroom Farm. So, why not make a long weekend of it and stay over at this stunning destination? It is the perfect base for a creative long weekend! Be near the action for the fringe events happening there over the same time, and wake up slowly with great coffee on your doorstep. Here, you can wander through the artisan tunnels, enjoy good food, discover local makers and settle into the rhythm of farm life.
With the Hilton Arts Festival just a short meander away in Hilton, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a weekend filled with performances, exhibitions and creative experiences, with a peaceful place to return to at the end of the day.
