One should see the wonderful events hosted by this space. The space is managed by City of Cape Town. There are amazing crafts created by the best craftsman from Langa.It is also a rehearsal space for Jika Madinga Dance Academy under the direction of Thabisa Dinga and resident choreographer Bruno Wani.There is well informed and professional tour guides too. They are always ready to give an experience of a lifetime to our visitors.

Great place to see how the townships are working hard to eliminate the disadvantages they have experienced due to the apartheid. Amazing people who will love to tell you about what they are doing now and what happened during the apartheid.

This is the most wonderful venue for live jazz in Cape Town on the weekend. Often hosts concerts arranged by Jazz in the Native Yards. There is often excellent wine on sale, and also snacks and juices. The atmosphere is unique. The acoustics between the stacked shipping containers has been carefully worked on via the floating roof. A must go.

I love the art centre. The Cape Town Deep House Festival called Deep in the City was hosted there. What a jam. In the afternoon the setup was outside and the DJs were doing their thing up on a deck. That was so phenomenal. In the evening we moved inside the venue. So brilliant.
