Cape Town's 7 things to do this weekend

Padel for a cause, a leather workshop, and recycled runway fashion

Latest update: Tuesday, 14 July 2026

Somewhere between a Khoisan leather workshop and an e-sports arena at GrandWest, this weekend is about to get very interesting. There’s a sleepover at the Two Oceans Aquarium, a fashion show where outfits are made from waste, and dumplings that aren’t food. Here’s what’s happening in and around Cape Town this week(end).

LEATHER, MEMORY & A NEEDLE  

Cape Town Stitch to Resist is hosting a heritage series with a workshop grounded in Khoisan leather practice, led by cultural practitioner Bradley van Sitters. Participants will learn to stitch a Tatreez-inspired motif into leather while having a conversation about Khoisan storytelling traditions.

Date: Saturday, 18 July; 10.30am to 1.30pm
Cost: R370. Book on Quicket


Bertha House | 69 Main Road | Mowbray
