The question has been and still is frequently asked, and the answer is: Yes, the Paul Clüver Amphitheatre will be opening this year for the summer season. It has been four years since we had to abruptly close this well-known concert venue between the old blue-gum trees due to Covid. Inspired by the demand for this venue and we ourselves missing the energy of the concerts we have held there over the years, it is all systems go, with our first shows commencing December. (Artists and dates yet to be confirmed).
Under the expert guidance of Dr Paul Clüver, renovations and upgrades to the open-air venue are going ahead at a pace. One of the challenges was the removal of a gigantic 120 year-old blue-gum tree that had died of natural causes, as well as trimming the extensively protruding branches of the other trees.
The 600-seater venue will also see new seats and catering facilities and visitors can look forward to a revamped entertainment venue that will still hold the same magical forest-theatre charm for which it has become so renowned.
Now that the news is official, we will issue regular updates as well as announcing the first concerts.
