Sibaya’s versatile Sun Park promises bigger shows and
lifestyle events
Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom has enhanced its
capacity as a host for grand-scale events with its expansive, multipurpose
venue, Sun Park. Responding to a growing demand on the North Coast of
KwaZulu-Natal for a versatile facility to stage large events, the state of the
art Sun Park features semi-permanent flexible infrastructure, built around a
sophisticated grid that can be arranged into any configuration.
Sibaya’s Sun Park incorporates a marquee structure and deck,
offering the facilities and support services of an indoor events venue, with
the flexibility of an outdoor space. The Sun Park grid spans 2,400 square
metres and the marquee 1,750 square metres. There is also a vast grassed area
on the east side of the structure.
With Sun Park’s modular design, the customisations are
limitless and there is access to all amenities for bringing even the most
over-the-top events to life – from food festivals, product launches and
banquets to exhibitions, concerts, pageants and other experiences. The
infrastructure offers water, electricity, WiFi, an office and storage space.
“Sun Park can rapidly bring large events to life. The
semi-permanent modular design of Sun Park is based on internationally proven
expo parks. Whether you want outdoor, indoor, multiple or triple-story
structures, Sun Park is easily transformed. Due to the flexibility of the
semi-permanent Sun Park infrastructure and the sophisticated grid that gives
you easy access to amenities, it’s quick and easy to build any type of event,
of various sizes or configuration,” says Rory Phelan, Business Development
Manager: Sun Sales.
Sun International currently operates three fully-fledged Sun
Parks at Sun City (North West); Carnival City (Gauteng) and Sibaya
(KwaZulu-Natal). The innovative Sun Park grid has also been laid at GrandWest
(Western Cape). It is fully operational however it does not come with a
marquee.
“Our new multipurpose events venue, Sun Park, is set to
become the preferred venue for lifestyle events, exhibitions, conferences,
concerts and banquets on the North Coast,” says Melville Vogel, Regional
General Manager: Sibaya. “It offers Sibaya a flexible and versatile platform
for hosting larger events than has been possible in the past. With this comes
the promise of bigger shows and events for our customers and community.
“We consider this investment in SunPark as part of our
commitment to creating a seamless events, entertainment and hospitality
experience on the North Coast, while contributing to the sustainability of the
local community through ongoing investment, and the promotion of business and
leisure tourism to the city.”
Sun Park is at the site of Sibaya’s old staff parking,
providing easy and convenient access to the complex and all it has to offer. It
is conveniently situated 10 minutes from King Shaka Airport and five minutes
from Umhlanga.
With expansive views over the warm, Indian Ocean as well as
inland views over the beautiful rolling hills of Zululand, guests get the best
of nature combined with cutting-edge design and architecture, incorporated into
one exciting venue.
The vibrant casino floor boasts a wide selection of slots
and table games, while the iZulu Theatre stages a myriad of comedy shows, music
concerts and other events. There is also a choice of restaurants and bars
including the upmarket Aqua Seafood and Royal Court Grill, and the welcoming
buffet restaurant, Africa to Asia (also known as A2A).
The resort features two quality hotels; the Sibaya Lodge and
the luxury Royal Sibaya Hotel, where out-of-town delegates and discerning
casino patrons can stay over in beautifully-appointed rooms.
Sibaya is also home to the exquisite Mangwanani Sibaya spa
where visitors can indulge in a range of rejuvenating treatments and therapies.
Recently, Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom and renowned Gauteng company,
Rockwood Theatre confirmed an exciting partnership will see more music shows,
revues and stage productions coming to Durban. Rockwood, which has had huge
success in Pretoria, is located in the newly renovated 300-seater, supper
theatre venue. The venue previously housed Krakatoa Night Club.
