Cullinan celebrates Heritage Day with gin festival
More than 2 200 people had their pick of the large variety of graft gin, beer and wine on display.
The Cullinan Heritage Day Gin Festival, organised and hosted by Cullinan Markets and Events on September 24 and 25, formed part of the Cullinan Boere Mark.
The event took place on the historical Oak Avenue, which lies in the heart of the picturesque little town, Cullinan, just east of Pretoria.
During the two days, more than 2 200 visitors attended the festival which featured a total of 105 stalls that catered for everything, from a variety of great food and drinks to arts and crafts and a range of handmade goods.

Renowned distilleries from around the country offered festival attendees unlimited amounts of craft gins, beers and wines.
The main aim of the event is to boost tourism in Cullinan.
Visitors not only had access to the festival but also to the quaint shops, restaurants, galleries and vintage stores that line Oak Avenue.
Accommodation establishments during the event were fully booked within a 20km radius which is a massive economic boost for the little mining village that relies mainly on tourism.
