Discover Kempton Park

Discover Kempton Park through its venues, each with its own distinct character. When choosing a holiday apartment, a specific reason for your trip can be a useful starting point: first consider what kind of experience interests you, then plan the rest of your trip around it. The three cultural venues differ in how they are used and in their programmes. This makes it easier to identify the right kind of offering than with a general search for entertainment: are you more interested in a market, music or a particular type of performance?

Cultural venues with distinct profiles

Red Roman Shed

Red Roman Shed is an urban multipurpose venue for markets, beer festivals, music and social events, music shows, and individually curated exhibitions. Its uses therefore go beyond a single performance format. For planning purposes, it helps to decide on the specific occasion: a market or exhibition is a different kind of cultural offering from a beer festival or music show. If a visit will shape your travel dates, check the dates of the relevant events.

Barnyard Theatre

Barnyard Theatre presents music shows featuring local music and has space for up to 400 guests. Its focus is more specifically on music shows than the versatile Red Roman Shed. Its capacity of up to 400 guests adds a concrete indication of scale to this musical focus. If music is your main interest, you can take this into account when planning your stay.

Theatre of Marcellus

Theatre of Marcellus presents international and local performances, including dance shows, comedy, musicals and plays. Its focus is on a wider range of performance formats than the music-show-focused Barnyard Theatre. When making your choice, consider whether you would rather see a particular type of performance or decide based on the specific event. If you plan to visit on a particular date, it is worth checking performance dates before making further travel plans.

Connecting events with travel planning

Two points matter when making your decision: which format interests you, and does the specific event fit your travel dates? The first narrows down the options based on your interests; the second connects the cultural programme with your travel plans. If you are travelling with others, agreeing on answers to these questions can help narrow down the options.

Plan your journey and holiday apartment

OR Tambo International Airport is located in Kempton Park. This is a useful reference point for travel planning; the cultural venues, by contrast, can help you choose an experience. At first, keep your travel arrangements and cultural programme separate: what do you need to consider for your journey, and which event, if any, would you like to include? Check your route and the specific event dates before choosing your accommodation. Then base your holiday apartment search on the priorities for your stay.
