A total of 1 500 people attended these
evening picnics during the previous summer season. According to Isabeau
Botha, communication manager of Die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en –monument,
these monthly events were supported well by locals as well as
international visitors.
“Young and old enjoy the picnics, as the
monument’s garden is a perfect picnic spot with panoramic views of the
valley,” said Botha. “The view is spectacular during the day, as well as
in the evening when all the lights at the monument are turned off.”
“These picnic events are affordable for
families, as we allow visitors to bring their own picnic baskets and we
only charge the normal entry fee. One can also create a basket to suit
your pocket by selecting products from the picnic menu at Volksmond, the
new restaurant at the monument.”
