Make the most of the long weekend

Women’s Day celebrations have a wonderful way of reminding us that the best moments are often the simplest: lingering over another cup of tea, laughing until your cheeks ache or raising a glass to the remarkable women who make life richer.

If one of these experiences catches your eye, it’s worth booking sooner rather than later. Many of Johannesburg’s most popular Women’s Day events tend to fill up well before the weekend arrives.
