THE MOST SCENIC SPORTING WEEKEND IN SOUTH AFRICA!
The George Sixes Festival takes us to the heart of the Garden Route with its mountain backdrops, clean air and magical community that makes the whole weekend feel like a refreshing get away. The weekend features Sixes format cricket, golf, padel and hockey plus live music, food vendors, a full bar, lifestyle exibitors and a kid's zone. Friday 27 – Sunday 29 November 2026.
ENTER A TEAM
This is the one worth travelling for. Grab your mates, your colleagues or your club, book your accommodation and pick your sport. Formats are short, fast and built for all abilities (you don't need to be match-fit, just willing and up for it). Hockey makes its Sixes debut in George, so your team gets to be part of a first. Fields are limited and first come, first served, once a sport is full, it's full. Great prizes on offer for all tournaments!!
