The good life

You can indulge in the good life at d'Vine Life, with a selection of the Cape's finest wines, great cheeses, olives and other gourmet goodies.

The Future of Design will celebrate the innovative Upcycled design by South Africa's local leading talent. It is an even greener way of recycling - find a new purpose for your unwanted items before you chuck them away.

Another very exciting project this year is ClockArt. A variety of artists, including fine artists, designers, ceramicists, fashion designers and mosaic artists were invited to create a wall clock. Visitors are then invited to view and bid for the clocks, which will be on display for the duration of the Expo. All funds raised will be donated to The Big Issue.

Entrance for adults is R60, pensioners R40 and children younger than 12 enter free of charge. The Expo will be open from 10am to 8pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10am to 6pm on Sunday.
