ANNOUNCING: THE FIFTH JHB DISCWORLD DAY: 2024

It was a strange, magical, flat word, populated by wizards, dwarfs and trolls, replete withd dragons and barbarian heroes. 

In turn, this world was perched atop four enormous elephants, themselves standing atop a giant star-turtle swimming through the galactic void.

One of the the most prolific and imaginative authors of our time, Sir Terry Pratchett created a world of wonder and magic that few can compare to.

This year, AlterEgos Events invites roundworlders and Kevins alike to descend upon Rusty Hook to experience the magic of Discworld first hand. 

EXPECT TO:

• Wander through the Ankh-Morpork Market and discover trinkets, traders and possibly trolls!
• Meet and interact with your favourite Discworld characters.
• Participate in The Discworld Dress Up: Embody your favourite character and be victorious. Win Thynngs.
• Take on The Gods and Guilds Quest. Complete the tasks as laid out for you. Choose your Guild – Thieves, Assassins or Beggars!

FEATURING:

• Burnt crunchy bits, dwarf bread, rat onna stick and other local delicacies can be found between Harga's House of Ribs and the Curry Gardens, so weary travellers and brave explorers will not have holes in their tummies. Keep an eye out for Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler.
