The circus, but make it luxurious
The Luxurious Marble Circus is an antidote to the everyday; a fantastical playground where fine dining, performance and flamboyance collide.
Forget lions and trapeze artists. This circus is curated for grown-ups with a taste for opulence and a love of the unexpected. Here, you’ll find Marble Group’s culinary flair, live music that moves with the moment, design that delights and cocktails brimming with deliciosity.
A taste of what awaits
At the Pink Table Dinner preview inside Saint Restaurant, guests were given a glimpse of the enchantment to come. Chef David Higgs, together with musician and culinary collaborator J’Something, showcased a menu that was as theatrical as it was delectable. Think oysters dressed in mignonette, Wagyu sushi salads and buttermilk chicken doughnuts with coronation mayo. A dry-aged T-bone stole the show, and desserts like tiramisu and chocolate mousse brought down the curtain in style.
At the event, the food philosophy will be simple but clever: dishes designed for sharing, snacking and feasting as you wander through the Circus’ Royal Lounge and themed spaces. As Higgs explained: “You need food you can grab and enjoy while experiencing the show.”

More than a festival
Expect to be enchanted at every turn. From the Fantastical Forest to the Uncaged Carousel, this circus promises sensorial surprises and live performances that blur the lines between food, art and theatre.
Whether you’re lounging with wood-fired plates, sipping cocktails at one of the Playground bars or witnessing something astonishing on stage, this is a festival that puts spectacle at the centre.
With its blend of award-winning food, fashion and music, the Luxurious Marble Circus is Joburg’s most glamorous escape of the season – a feast for the senses, and for the imagination – and you could win tickets! But if you don’t want to miss it, secure your tickets today!
