Large events · up to 1 050 guests

Room for a thousand, on the sand.

The whole precinct: nine venues, five bars, one private beach. Most Cape Town venues stop at a few hundred. The Grand takes 1 050 across its beach, its restored warehouse and nine private venues, with five bars so nobody queues. Launches, galas, festivals, conferences and the company party that needs the whole place.

Why large events work at the Grand

1 050 guests, one venue

The full precinct holds 1 050 across the beach, the warehouse and nine venues. No overflow room, no second site.

Five bars

Five bars across the venue means a thousand guests and no queue. Coupes, never flutes, even at that scale.

Inside and out, in one move

The beach for arrivals and sunset, the warehouse for dinner and dancing. Weather has a plan B built in.

A team that has done the numbers

Production, staffing, parking and valet, security and the run sheet, handled by an events team that runs large events every season.

Good Vibes

Music, energy and atmosphere built in.

Dedicated Team

One events team, from first enquiry to last dance.

Private Events

Made for celebrating.

Weddings

Ocean views, beautiful tables and a setting made for unforgettable moments.
