Sudwala Caves offers two distinctive venues that provide an unforgettable backdrop for events of all kinds. The PR Owen Hall—commonly known as the Amphitheatre—is a vast natural chamber within the caves. With a 70-metre diameter and 37-metre-high dome ceiling, this dolomite cavern features incredible natural acoustics and a steady 17°C temperature year-round. It can seat over 500 guests and has hosted celebrated performers like Ivan Rebroff, Chris Chameleon, Elvis Blue, and the University of Pretoria’s Youth Orchestra.

This venue is ideal for concerts, plays, and cultural showcases, having also seen productions like Macbeth, Groet die Grotman, and even traditional Khoisan performances. In one particularly memorable celebration, a couple exchanged vows deep within the cave—an atmospheric wedding surrounded by ancient rock formations and echoes of history.

The second venue, located just outside near the restaurant, offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Designed for versatility, it accommodates up to 100 guests and is well-suited for weddings, business functions, and private parties. Equipped with modern amenities, this outdoor space complements the grandeur of the caves with a more open and scenic atmosphere.

The third event space is the Sudwala River Camp, a relaxed riverside setting perfect for more casual or outdoor-focused occasions. This venue is ideal for birthdays, weddings, team-building sessions, and events that include overnight stays. With the natural surroundings and peaceful ambiance, the River Camp adds another dimension to Sudwala Caves’ event offerings, blending nature, comfort, and flexibility.

Sudwala Caves is also home to a variety of annual events. The popular “Screaming Monster Race” challenges runners with a half-marathon route that winds through the cave system, while “ECHOFEST” celebrates choral music with two days of performances in the caves’ acoustic-rich Amphitheatre.
