Free State notes on venues, equipment & supplies
Bloemfontein has hotels, conference centres and university venues, and Welkom and Kroonstad have smaller rooms for training groups. Guest farms in the eastern Free State offer residential packages but may need an outside AV supplier. Projector and PA hire firms in Bloemfontein deliver across much of the province. Check heating for winter sessions, and order printed learner guides and flip chart pads from Bloemfontein for towns with fewer suppliers.
Free State: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Central placement is the Free State's advantage: Bloemfontein sits on the N1 between Gauteng and the Cape, so national organisations sometimes meet here halfway. The city is the seat of the legislature and provincial departments, and also hosts universities and the Supreme Court of Appeal, which keeps public sector and education work steady. Gold mining shaped Welkom and the Goldfields, the petrochemical plants at Sasolburg need technical and safety training, and maize, sunflower and cattle farms fill the platteland around Kroonstad and Bethlehem. The eastern Free State, with Clarens and the mountains near Harrismith, suits strategy breakaways and team building. Sesotho and Afrikaans are the main languages after English. Winter here is genuinely cold, so check that venues are heated.
Typical PA system hire requests in the area come from:
- Government departments and municipalities: PA for imbizos, community meetings and municipal events in halls or tents
- Schools, colleges and universities: sound for prize-givings, sports days and district conferences
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: sound for safety days and shift meetings at a mine or plant
