THE HEROTEL BOSVELD VILLAGE FAMILY FUN DAY

The Herotel Bosveld Village Family Fun Day is shaping up to be a fantastic monthly event for families around Hoedspruit, especially with the inaugural event kicking off with an Easter theme on the 31st of March 2024 (11am to 4pm). The transformation from Bosveld Market to a family-oriented day filled with a variety of activities, market stalls, and live entertainment, certainly adds a fresh vibe to the local community scene on the last Sunday of every month.

Having a different theme each month is a brilliant idea to keep the excitement alive and ensure that there’s always something new for attendees to look forward to. For the Easter-themed event, the inclusion of classic activities like an Easter egg hunt, egg toss, and egg and spoon race not only taps into the festive spirit but also ensures fun for all ages. It certainly is a wonderful way to bring the community together.
