Radical overhaul for Rand Show 2010

The Rand Show 2010, will be held between 1 to11 April, 2010 and new management has radically overhauled the show's content, to focus it firmly on the lifestyle interests of families. There will also be a family-friendly pricing structure, so it won't cost you the earth.

The new managers of the Rand Show 2010 have pulled out all the stops to ensure that a trip to the show this Easter will be a rewarding experience for every member of the family.

More affordable

The Rand Show 2010 is now more affordable than ever. In previous years, only children under two enjoyed free admission. Now, the Rand Show 2010 gives free admission to all children aged six and under. The age limit to qualify for child rates has been pushed up from 12 to 16. It now only costs R20 a ticket for children between the ages of seven and 16. Adults over 16 pay just R70, and even less if they take advantage of the show's midweek special (Tuesday to Thursday), when tickets are only R40.

Myriad lifestyle exhibits

The price of a ticket gets you much more than just admission to the myriad lifestyle exhibits. It also lets you enjoy the line-up of entertainment and attractions, some of which are exclusive to the Rand Show 2010.

Some of the attractions include:


  • The International Food & Culture Festival
