Outdoor & Adventure Expo Broederstroom 2026

The Outdoor & Adventure Expo Broederstroom returns from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 August 2026, turning the 1,200-hectare B'Sorah Beit Avinu Centre on the R400 between Hartbeespoort Dam and Maropeng into a full weekend playground for campers, overlanders and 4x4 enthusiasts. Just 40km from Pretoria and 35km from Centurion, it has become a firm favourite on the outdoor calendar for Gauteng families who want to browse caravans, test gear and get properly dusty, all in one trip.

What to Expect at the Outdoor & Adventure Expo Exhibitors will showcase the latest caravans, off-road trailers, camping equipment and outdoor gear, while food carts and a craft beer venue keep the weekend fuelled. New for 2026 is the Destinations and Adventures Centre, featuring lodge stays, ziplines, hot air ballooning, rafting and guided tour operators.

Moreover, the expo proudly bills itself as South Africa's only dog-on-lead-friendly show of its kind, and the Bulls vs All Blacks clash will be broadcast live on site. Hands-On Activities Beyond the stands, a purpose-built, marshalled 4x4 obstacle course (R250 per vehicle daily) and a convoy drive-out (R150 per vehicle) let off-roaders put their rigs to work.

Hikers can tackle trails of up to 18km, mountain bikers have routes of up to 36km, and a natural river swimming spot offers a cool-down between browsing sessions. Tickets and Camping Adult tickets cost R85 on Friday and R170 on Saturday and Sunday, while children aged 7 to 18 and pensioners pay R85 daily and under-7s enter free.

For the full experience, a R600 per person weekend camping package includes Friday and Saturday nights on site plus expo entry, with a pre-pitched tented village available for those who prefer to arrive light. Tickets are available via TicketPro or at the gate, with full details on the official LR Classic event page.

Note that 4x4 obstacle course and convoy passes are sold at the gate only, so bring a card or cash if you plan to drive. Why the Outdoor & Adventure Expo Is Worth the Drive Few events combine shopping for outdoor kit with actually using it on the same property. The Outdoor & Adventure Expo sits in the scenic Hartbeespoort area on Gauteng's doorstep, making it an easy day trip or a proper weekend escape for visitors from Tshwane, Johannesburg and the West Rand.

Pack sturdy shoes, sunblock, a camp chair and the dog's lead, load the family and make a weekend of it.
