The Hope @ Paul Cluver Amphitheatre is the most unique and awe inspiring setting for performances and it is only 45 minutes drive from Cape Town International. A towering Eucalyptus forest circles the intimate open-air arena which has been hewn from farm timber in its entirety. Performances are specifically chosen to match the natural acoustics of the venue.
How It All Began
Hope@PaulCluver was birthed in 2013 after Paul Cluver Wines witnessed the work of Thembalitsha Foundation in the local community surrounding Elgin. They wanted to do something further to support our work and saw the programming of the amphitheatre - which they had been successfully running for over a decade - as an ideal opportunity to help get the word out about Thembalitsha while helping us raise funds to transform lives in our community.
