Some things to do this weekend when on a tight January budget
It seems that January will never come to an end ... but at least there are some budget friendly events happening.
Keeping the kids entertained on a tight January budget might seem difficult, but not with these events taking place this weekend.
Do make note!

And for next week:
Moonlight Mazes
26 JANUARY — Honeydew Amaizing Mazes is hosting its first moonlight maze event for 2019. Bring your own picnic baskets (no braais) and torches. Arrive at 5.15pm, enjoy the sunset and play on the smaller mazes. Everyone then enters the maze together at about 6.15pm. Please be on time. Everyone goes into teams (four people in a team), within their own group, or just as a couple. Each team is given a quiz sheet and briefed, and then they enter the giant maze. It is great fun. Cost is R120 per child and R150 per adult. For more info, call Judy on 073 795 2174.
