Venue
Before we begin, can we please just say.. NO FIRES, NO PETS, NO GLASS, NO UNDER 18
Now that we have that cleared up..
As ever Origin’s traveling circus strives to make home at the most comfortable and beautiful environment possible each year.
We have an amazing new venue this year, and below are some pictures. Situated 100km’s from Cape Town city centre, which is about a 1 hour drive for all you city dwellers, this lush piece of paradise is located in the tranquil Riebeek Valley, home to Riebeek Wes and Riebeek Kasteel.
