I HAVE BEEN TELLING PRINCE ALBERT'S STORIES

SINCE 2002! 

BOOKING IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL

The Ghost Walk

Join me for a pre-dinner walk around the streets of the village, in the company of the Ghosts of Prince Albert.

We set out at dusk and wander through the streets as darkness descends. The stories introduce you to characters who have lived here over the years - and the ghosts who don't want to leave! A light-hearted "one-woman show" on the move, which reveals some of the village's treasures and hidden skeletons. A little history, a little architecture, lots of interesting people... and ghosts.

The walk takes 1½ hours. 

OFFERED YEAR ROUND - CURRENTLY STARTS AT 5.00PM

OUTSIDE THE ONS SHOP AT THE LANGHUIS IN KERKSTRAAT

BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL

The walk is through the streets, along pavements and roads, so sensible shoes are best.

                                         All walks are taken at your own risk!

The Historical Ramble

The first farmers, Dina and Zacharius de Beer settled here in 1762 and established a loan farm called Kweekvallei. This ramble along the streets of Prince Albert introduces you to the de Beers and other families who made Prince Albert what it is today.

We walk past well-preserved buildings spanning almost two hundred years of history and architectural styles and hear about the builders and owners.

The Anglo-Boer War touched Prince Albert - see the site of the British garrison camp and hear some of their tales.

The gardens and orchards along the route are watered from the furrows which run through the village - enjoy the fragrances and learn more about the source of the water.

The Historical Ramble takes about 2 hours, morning or afternoon by arrangement. Booking is essential.

Join me for a new perspective on our special village.

We wander along pavements and roads, so sensible shoes are best.

All walks are taken at your own risk. 

Thank you for another tremendously interesting and enriching tour and talk. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed not only the walk and stories afterwards, but your enthusiasm and knowledge. Truly brilliant.

Prince Albert Stories in the evening

From time to time I am invited to join groups of visitors to our guest houses to tell pre-dinner stories about Prince Albert from the days of the original farm, Kweekvallei, how we came to be named after Queen Victoria's consort, experiences from the Anglo-Boer War, how the Swartberg Pass came to be built and anecdotes about curious characters such as Hennie 'Velsambreel" - the umbrella man whose nephew pushed him round the village in a cart. 

The hour-long programme includes entertaining yarns, little known facts, good laughs and a couple of ghost stories. 

If you are visiting us during the school holidays please make a booking well in advance since the Ghost Walk keeps me very busy then.
