The Big Hole Festival (Groot Gat Fees) is a celebration of the discovery of the world’s largest diamond — the legendary Cullinan Diamond! Weighing in at an incredible 3 106 carats, the diamond was discovered in Cullinan (hence the name) in 1905. In September 2009 another “biggie” was discovered in the same village when a 500 carat white diamond, the size of a chicken egg, was found. Come and enjoy a day in the historic town of Cullinan with arts, antiques, cheese, wines and whiskey tastings. There will be food stalls, beer gardens, mechanical bulls, rock climbing and children’s entertainment — to name a few things on offer. The Groot Gat Fees will be held on Monday, 18 March 2013 to Thursday, 21 March 2013.
