Zeitz MOCAA Events runs the Ocular Lounge and the museum's other event spaces inside a converted grain silo at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. Couples can book a seated dinner for 180 in the lounge, a cocktail hour on the rooftop terrace or drinks in the Atrium, all with Table Mountain close by.

The story

A wedding inside Cape Town's grain silo museum

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa opened in 2017 in the old grain silo complex at the V&A Waterfront. Thomas Heatherwick kept the industrial shell of forty-two concrete tubes, each 33 metres high, and carved a cathedral-like atrium out of them.

Wedding celebrations can use three of the museum's spaces. The Ocular Lounge and Events Space on level 6 seats 180 for dinner or takes 200 for cocktails, and its mountain-side room has a 270-degree view over the city and Table Mountain. Next to it, the rooftop terrace holds up to 100 guests for an open-air drinks reception. Down in the museum, the Atrium takes up to 200 guests, and its bowl at the heart of the old silos suits drinks for around 60.
