Capegate Shopping Centre is rewriting the Women’s Day routine. Sip & Social, happening Saturday, 9 August, 2025, from 10am until 2pm with a punchy mix of art, honest storytelling and indulgent pairings. It’s the kind of feel-good experience you book for yourself and end up recommending to everyone you know.
The morning opens with a no-fluff, all-heart talk from Sherlin Barends, KFM radio host and motivational speaker.
She’ll be sharing the real stuff: navigating tough moments, celebrating small wins and learning to keep going. Think less TED Talk, more heart-to-heart – the kind that lingers long after the last word.
Sip & Social gathering
“Women’s Day is a reminder that, as women, we carry more than titles or roles – we carry stories, scars and strength,” says Zoë Enslin, Marketing Manager at Capegate Shopping Centre. “Through Sip & Social, we wanted to offer a moment to slow down, laugh, reflect and connect with likeminded women.”
Next, guests roll up their sleeves for a textured art session with Art Palette, a woman-owned studio in Durbanville. Whether you haven’t held a paintbrush since school or you live for a DIY project, this hands-on workshop is all about experimenting and having fun… you might even discover a new hobby. No pressure. No rules. Just good vibes, good company and your own canvas to take home.
CANTO Wines
And because no celebration is complete without a little indulgence, we’ll be raising our glasses for a bubbly and macaron pairing by CANTO Wines, a boutique Durbanville estate known for its crisp, characterful MCCs. Each bubbly is matched with a handcrafted macaron – from pistachio to red raspberry and salted caramel – for a tasting that’s all sparkle and satisfaction.
To top it off, every guest will receive a Catrice beauty goodie bag, adding a luxe little something to remember the day by.
Tickets are R375. Whether you come solo or with your circle, Sip & Social offers a fresh alternative to the usual Women’s Day routine. It’s personal, playful and unapologetically about women taking time for themselves.
