Worlds apart: Forest Town

Hidden amongst the trees of this beautiful garden suburb, one of the first to be established outside the city centre, you’ll find a diverse range of architectural styles - from the Arts and Crafts stylings of the Herbert Baker school to the Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation’s strikingly modern adaptation of an old substation. Join your guide Ed Coogan for a walk along these leafy avenues, including a visit to JCAF to see how the space has been thoughtfully repurposed.

All Heritage Weekend tours depart from Holy Family College in Parktown. As part of our HW celebrations, set some time aside to peruse our extensive book, print and map sale at HFC and the book room at Northwards. And don’t forget to grab a bite at the food stand.
