LONG TABLE DINNER in the Pastorie Gardens –

The Clarens Arts Festival begins with a joyful celebration of community — a chance to gather around the long table with friends, artists, poets, and supporters who make the festival possible.

This special evening features world-renowned sculptor Anton Smit as a guest speaker, sharing his insights and inspiration.

In the spirit of giving back, Anton has generously donated one of his artworks to be auctioned, with proceeds supporting ArtStart Clarens and its mission to nurture emerging talent.

It’s an opening filled with connection, creativity, and gratitude — the perfect start to the festival.

Tickets: R580 Includes a 3 course meal paired with wine.
