Ladies Day attendees can also sit back and relax at one of the on-site pamper stations or watch a hugely entertaining show by the Trick Shot Boys, while those who want to stand out from the crowd will have the opportunity to take advantage of a glitter face painting service.
The end of the golf doesn’t mean the end of the day, as the Red Light Party Band will take to the stage (following the last putt around 5.30pm) to ensure the festivities continue, bringing the day’s proceedings to a close in thrilling fashion.
Sunday November 17 is Family Day, with free fast-track entry for children aged 17 and under, although pre-registration is required.
