Rand Club
ABOUT
The glamorous Rand Club was first established in 1887 - just one year after the founding of Johannesburg - to provide the rich and mighty men who ran the city with a luxurious home away from home.
Since then, the Club has evolved to become an aspirational beacon for all Joburgers, while still retaining its timeless style and iconic architecture. From the grand staircase with its famous glass dome, to the opulent bar and restaurant, to the gorgeous library and sitting areas, this is a heritage site to be cherished.
So, don’t miss this opportunity to experience the Rand Club for yourself with an exclusive tour in the company of club member and RC expert, Brian McKechnie. Along the way, you’ll find out more about the history of the Club, discover fascinating facts about the RC’s design, and take a look at the art, images and artefacts housed within the clubhouse.
After the tour, you are welcome to stay for a drink or snack in the Main Bar - said to be the longest bar in Africa.
The Rand Club will also be hosting their annual Antiques Book and Artisanal Faire from 9am, so this is a good chance to make a day of it. Tickets for the Book Fair are sold separately (on Quicket) and cost R50 per person.
Please note: there is no dedicated parking available so it is recommended to catch an Uber.
