Located within the Hyde Park Shopping Centre, The Forum Hyde Park is set to open in October 2024. Designed by Tonic, The Forum Hyde Park combines sophisticated green and white marble finishes with rooftop gardens and adaptable event spaces, making it ideal for both leisure and corporate functions.

The venue’s modern amenities and versatile spaces cater to a wide range of event types, from intimate gatherings to large-scale corporate events. Set in a central location with a focus on safety, elegance, and refinement, The Forum Hyde Park is looking to become one of Johannesburg’s premier event destinations.

In addition to a new venue, The Forum The Campus has been revitalised. Nestled within light-filled courtyards, The Forum The Campus has undergone significant refurbishments to elevate its design and functionality. The renovations include a complete overhaul of seating and styling, with the gallery and bar areas refreshed to create an inviting atmosphere for guests. Contemporary furniture and a sophisticated colour palette, featuring neutral tones enhanced by muted blues and greens, provide a perfect backdrop for the venue’s art collection, which includes works from South Africa’s top emerging artists, many acquired at the Turbine Art Fair.

The larger auditorium now boasts state-of-the-art audio-visual (AV) equipment, offering cutting-edge technology for presentations and events. Meanwhile, the smaller auditorium has been updated with new, comfortable seating to enhance the experience for attendees. New carpeting throughout the venue adds to its elegant ambiance, and the courtyards have been replanted to offer serene, green spaces for relaxation and socialising.

One of the venue’s standout features is its use of natural light. The design maximises the flow of natural light, which has been proven to enhance mood, productivity, and well-being. The Forum Company’s has also highlighted a commitment to sustainability in its operations. The company has implemented a robust Sustainability Strategy aimed at reducing waste, addressing climate change, and creating a positive social impact.

The Forum’s focus on sustainability extends to the food it serves. The company is committed to providing healthy, fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with an emphasis on free-range options and meals that are low in fat, sugar, and salt. This dedication to wellness is reflected in The Forum’s menus, designed to nourish both the body and mind.

With the revamped Forum The Campus and the exciting new Forum Hyde Park, The Forum Company is hoping to redefine the event space landscape in South Africa.
