Description

Lamb Champs Pretoria is the biggest lamb festival of the season and a true family-friendly celebration of South African farming.

Hosted at Harlequins Rugby Club, 110 sheep farmers go head-to-head for the title of best lamb in South Africa.

Every ticket includes access to lamb tastings from the competing spits. Guests are welcome to enjoy portions served from the various spits throughout the day, while stock lasts. Portion availability depends on attendance and serving times.

Then the festival kicks into full gear:• Live performances by top South African artists

  • Toyota Urban Trax activation
  • The legendary Sheep Head Eating Competition
  • The Wool Carry Competition
  • A fully stocked beer tent
  • Exhibitor stalls
  • A large dedicated children’s play area

From 10:00 to 20:00 it’s flavour, music, competition, and proper South African energy in a safe, relaxed, family-friendly environment.
