Welcome to BraaiCastle
— Knysna’s sizzling fortress of flavour!
Founded by a braai wizard who’s grilled for British royalty (yes, even the crown knows a good lamb chop), we’re all about unpretentious, fireside kuier.
Picture dads battling coals like knights, kids toasting marshmallows like mini-squires, and moms sharing secrets with fair maidens and fabulous queens. No jousting required — just bring your potjies to simmer, your tongmasters to duel, your marshmallows to roast, and your broodjies to brawl.
Because here at BraaiCastle, everyone gets to braai!
Lekka locals, hip tourists, absent loves and friend ones — all are welcome!
Storm the gates Saturday, 28th February 2026 — tickets from R30! At BraaiCastle, the only thing burning brighter than the coals is the fun!
Event Overview
This is a Bring & Braai event first and foremost — but we’ve got Braai Packs you can pre-order for easy pickup on the day. You can join the competitions or simply relax and braai for your family and friends.
Bring your own salads, buns, sauces and extras — or grab something from our Deli Bar (limited stock till we run out).
The venue is licensed, so please no own drinks — our bar will keep you refreshed all day and night.
