SA CHEESE FESTIVAL CELEBRATES A DECADE OF SUPERB CHEESE AT A BRAND NEW VENUE

The SA Cheese Festival celebrates 10 years of scrumptious cheese and family fun from Friday 29 April to Monday 2 May 2011 at an exciting new venue. Visitors can expect a gourmet event jam-packed with more flavour experiences than ever before.  The organisers have given the festival new zest without compromising cheese’s position as the belle of the ball.

You’ll find Sandringham conveniently halfway between Cape Town and Paarl on the N1, close to Stellenbosch. With breathtaking views, wide open spaces and exquisite sunsets, this new venue will allow visitors an exhilarating carnival experience with numerous expansions to the regular festival.

A shared passion for cheese brings together food lovers, artisan producers and other food champions in a single extraordinary event.  The Checkers Cheese Emporium, the main attraction in the Dairy Square, offers you the country’s largest selection of cheese under one roof, and the celebs of the Checkers Theatre will wow you with their daring use of cheese.  Saunter on to the Carnival Park where roaming artists will set the pace, and shop for an electric mix of delectable delicacies and prime wines; or simply relax while professional entertainers of the Wilde Fruit Juice Kiddies Corner keep the little ones amused for hours on end.

Take a journey of discovery along the Meander route and let doe-eyed cows, sheep and goats “tell” their story of milk; or sample sumptuous handmade products at the earthy country market.  Then enjoy the perfect end to a perfect day at the Cheese Festival: a memorable sunset over Table Mountain with good food and live music at Sandringham’s very own Waterfront.

In celebration of the festival’s 10th birthday, the organisers decided to treat visitors by not increasing the entrance fees.  A limited number of tickets are available at Computicket and Checkers stores (no tickets at the gates) at R110 for Saturday and Sunday and R90 for Friday and Monday. Senior citizens pay R70 and children 12 years and younger enter absolutely free. The festival runs from 10:00 to 18:00 each day and 17:00 on the last day.
