Markets in October

Markets

This month we will be at the following markets: (all market times are 9am to 2pm unless otherwise stated)

Biscuit Mill – (every Sat) at the shop we will always have the largest range. We will also be trying out a couple of new products, so even if you came last weekend, there will be something new and very delicious in store.

Stellenbosch (every Sat) no excuses for not giving this market a visit. Quality-wise it rivals the Biscuit Mill, experience-wise I think it surpasses the Biscuit Mill. The type of market you can go to with your baby or dog and not feel claustrophobic. Food is the main thrust of the market, but there is also a very nice craft and décor section.

Earth Fair Market (every Wed eve & Sat) one of CT’s hidden gems...a great array of food and they have a fantastic bar that serves only organic wines and micro-brewery beer. It’s indoors as opposed to some of the other markets in the area so is always open. It’s also CT’s only weekly night market (Wed 3pm to 8pm)

Nitida – a true farmer’s market this one. Some of the vendors there are the farmers themselves, and only sell at this market directly to the public. Nitida is held on the wine farm out in Durbanville Hills and always takes place on the last Saturday of the month. Hours are from 7:30am to 12pm so get there early. This month they will be doing a night market the evening before from 5pm to 9:30pm.

Long Beach – the Triangle Square group have several markets in and around CT. They are all in shopping centres, indoors and normally attract a wide range of vendors. The market is every second Friday (this Friday from 11am-5pm). If you are in the area, it’s well worth a visit – a lot of your favourites with a few local stands. The link is not the greatest – if you need directions or additional info, please contact us - the market is on this Fri i.e. 8 October.

Wellness Warehouse - are doing a market in Church St (just below Rafiki's) on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. It's an organic/whole food market and they only allow vendors who sell natural products i.e. no artificial preservatives or additives.
