If you think you’ve experienced a festival before, think again.
There are festivals, and then there is The Luxurious Marble Circus.
Following two sold-out seasons that have reimagined what a South African festival can be, The Luxurious Marble Circus returns to Ground The Venue in Muldersdrift on 26 and 27 September 2026, promising two days of flavour, fashion, music, theatre, spectacle, creativity — and plenty of play.
This year, the extraordinary has a name: Evophoria.
This Heritage Month, experience a vibrant celebration where culture, community and connection take centre stage.
For more than 5,000 years, Hindu civilisation has made an extraordinary contribution to the world, shaping everything from philosophy, mathematics and medicine to art, architecture, music and spirituality. This September, South Africans will have the opportunity to experience this rich and living heritage in a uniquely local setting as the Hindu Cultural Festival of South Africa returns for its third edition.
Taking place on Saturday, 12 September 2026, at Heartfelt Arena in Tshwane, the festival promises a spectacular day of colour, flavour, music, dance and cultural discovery.
The Maison Martell, a cultural residence designed to bring together contemporary culture and an immersive encounter with the oldest cognac houses, officially opens in Joburg on Thursday, 12 March 2026 at Montecasino in Fourways.

Guests are invited to explore the space through a curated walk-through experience, including guided tastings of Martell’s celebrated Blue Swift & XO expressions, alongside a brief journey into the Maison’s rich history and craftsmanship — a heritage that spans more than three centuries.

Nine Lives Supper Club is a hidden gem tucked away in a sleek, sophisticated oasis between the 4th and 5th floors of The Hyde Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg.
I attended the launch, and it was pure magic. Sleek lines, stylish design, and just the right kind of quiet, yet sexy, luxury that Joburg has been craving. The menu may be small, but every bite is a masterpiece. Their smoked olives are a revelation, and the cocktails/mocktails are worth every rand. Plus, they’ve even got Russian caviar flown in fresh from Moldova. It’s on the pricier side, but this is what you expect from a spot this refined.
Overall, Nine Lives is a sophisticated, sexy supper club, where you can experience curated tapas type food and drinks, with a small selection of main courses.
