Set against the charming backdrop of Rosemary Hall in Pretoria, the Winter Fire Festival running on 20 June 2025 is a heart-warming celebration of creativity, connection, and community spirit. The farm will come alive with flickering flames, live music, and the scent of warm food and spiced drinks. Explore artisan stalls at the food and craft market, watch fire performers, and join in hands-on workshops — from candle pouring and lantern making to crochet, painting, and even fire-starting the old-fashioned way.
Here’s what you need to know.
The Winter Fire Festival craft workshops
The Winter Fire Festival at Rosemary Hall offers a series of cosy, hands-on workshops to warm the soul. Pour your own natural wax candle, decorate a lantern for the evening walk, or feel the rhythm in a vibrant African drumming circle.
Let a local artist guide you through fire-inspired painting while you sip glühwein. Learn ancient fire-making techniques, try your hand at crochet with a handmade beanie or mittens, or craft a charming doll with the help of illustrator Elsbeth. These workshops invite you to slow down, connect, and create something meaningful. Materials are provided, and all ages are welcome. It’s a celebration of creativity, warmth, and togetherness under the winter sky.
