TANKWA CLASSICS 2023 invites you to join us as we celebrate the arts and music amid the picturesque Karoo hinterland, underneath a million karoo stars, in our million-year-old canyon. In a celebration of the senses, our programme brings together, wind ensembles, pianists, cellists, opera singers, and flutes – all in combination with delicious cuisine, in the heart of the Tankwa Karoo.
Sleep under the stars, or 'glamp' it up with a range of accommodation options. In-between performances, enjoy our 'karoo'-style infinity dam, nature walks or take a stroll along our art walk, to the infamous canyon – whatever the heart desires. If you are a lover of nature, breath-taking classical musical performances, stargazing, open spaces, and the tech-free, fresh air – then this is a weekend not to be missed!
