The National Arts Festival held every winter in Grahamstown is the largest event of its kind in the country. Thousands of people converge on the town to experience the best that South Africa has to offer in the performing arts.

During the University vacations, comfortable, single-room accommodation and meals are offered for the National Arts Festival at reasonable rates. This accommodation is in the Universities Residences that accommodate thousands of guests every year, many of whom come again and again.
All residences are situated on the University campus within a radius of approximately 1.5km from the main administration building. The latter is situated at the top of High Street (the main street in the town) in Grahamstown.
