What to expect on the day
Please arrive 30 minutes before your session to allow enough time to register, collect your wristband, and have your ticket scanned at the entrance. Having your Webtickets barcode tickets ready when you arrive will help make the check-in process quick and easy.
Before each session begins, our team will take you through a short briefing, explaining what you’ll be doing and how the packing process works. No previous experience is needed. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to take photos before your session starts, so be sure to capture the moment with your family, friends, or colleagues.
To make the most of your 67 minutes, wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes suitable for an active packing environment, and don’t forget to bring your best energy. Together, we’ll turn those 67 minutes into real impact.
Our events are family-friendly, and children are welcome when accompanied and supervised by an adult throughout the session, as the packing floor is an active working environment.
To help us maintain the highest food safety standards, we kindly ask that no food or drinks be brought into the packing area. Please also note that parking fees, where applicable, are for attendees’ own account.
Haven’t booked yet?
There’s still time to join us. Gather your family, friends or colleagues, book your ticket through Webtickets, and be part of a collective effort to strengthen food security this Mandela Day.
We can’t wait to welcome you and spend 67 minutes making a meaningful difference together!
