We have rounded up a selection of some of the best things happening around this time of year, ranging from kid’s activities to lunches and even trance parties for those wanting to dance off all that chocolate.
What can we look forward to seeing this Easter 2016 in Cape Town? Let’s take a look…

While we’re on the topic of heavenly chocolate, kids can also head to Cavendish Square shopping centre in Claremont to make special bunny gardens made from chocolate.
