Hello Lifestyle Magazine and Bolton House Barbershop & Wellness Lounge in Roseabank are closing out the year with a celebration that blends refined indulgence, soulful moments, and the unmistakable warmth of community. Set to unfold on the 15th of December 2025, the Boots & Bourbon year-end gathering invites readers, clients, partners, and friends to come together for an afternoon designed around one simple intention: to exhale, reconnect, and end 2025 on a beautifully high note.
Hosted in the gardens of Bolton House, Rosebank’s home of modern masculinity, grooming culture and gentlemanly rituals, this year’s celebration brings together complimentary food, artisan spirits, live entertainment, spa experiences, and an optional Poker Tournament for those feeling competitive.
Thanks to the iconic South African restaurant group, Nando’s guests can expect a generous feast of flame-grilled favourites served with signature flair. Add premium drinks flowing throughout the afternoon, a sun-soaked garden setting, and a community of like-minded individuals who have supported both Hello Lifestyle Magazine and Bolton House all year, and it becomes the perfect recipe for a festive finale.
This year’s entertainment brings a completely different energy to Bolton House, thanks to the authentic, country-style sounds of Brad Cunningham. His music — built on easy guitar rhythms, warm melodies and a looping style that creates a rich, layered atmosphere — is exactly the kind of soundtrack that turns an afternoon gathering into something memorable.
Brad’s performance isn’t about big stages or polished speeches. It’s about creating a mood. The kind that makes people slow down, settle in, and savour the moment. His blend of acoustic charm, heartfelt storytelling and soulful looping gives the event a relaxed, down-to-earth feeling perfectly suited to the Boots & Bourbon theme.
Complimentary Bolton House Spa Treatments
Signature mini-treatments will run throughout the afternoon. From beard shaping and facial waxes to hand, head and shoulder massages, offering the perfect reset before heading into the festive season.
Plus, if you’d like to spoil yourself with a full treatment on the day, book in advance on Fresha and enjoy 20% off treatments when you book online using the discount code: BOOTS&BOURBON
Premium Spirits & Bourbon Bar
A curated selection of bourbons, whiskeys and premium spirits will be served from the bar, celebrating the craftsmanship behind the world’s finest pours.
Exclusive Poker Tournament
Guests can upgrade their ticket to join the tournament and compete for:
There are only two tables available, seating just seven players each plus a dealer, keeping the energy personal, exciting, and unforgettable. Please book soon to avoid disappointment.




Boots & Bourbon is more than an event — it’s a moment of gratitude for the readers, clients, partners and supporters who help shape Hello Lifestyle Magazine and Bolton House into vibrant, meaningful brands. It’s a celebration of connection, craftsmanship, music, wellness and good living — all the things our community values most.
Tickets are limited, and the day promises to be one of the year’s most memorable highlights.

There’s something quietly romantic about spending a morning with your hands caked in clay – no phones, no rush, just laughter and a spinning wheel. That’s exactly what four of us found when we visited Crafted Clay in Lakefield, Benoni for a pottery-on-the-wheel experience. The activity was equal parts grounding, messy, and unexpectedly therapeutic. Here’s how the day unfolded.

The 2026 LUXE Restaurant Awards unfolded in spectacular fashion at MIRA Sandton, presented in partnership with Audi South Africa, bringing together South Africa’s leading chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary trailblazers for an evening of prestige, recognition, and celebration.
