Food & Craft Markets in Cape Town & Surrounds

One of my favourite ways to dodge the drudgery of supermarket aisles and shopping malls is to head for any one (or more) of the local markets that take place regularly around the Mother City…

Whether it’s hand-made craft, or freshly plucked farmers’ produce, it’s a danged sight better (in my opinion) than most things one finds in the bigger stores.

Heck, you can even find seemingly mundane items like cleaning products at markets, these days – and they’re very often eco-friendly to boot. Plus, being generally outdoors in nature, you get a good dose of fresh air into the bargain.

So, ditch the mall and head for your local market instead – believe me, it’s way more fun!

6:00 pm10:00 pm

The Moonlight Market started in 2008. It happens on the first Friday of every month from October to April (Weather Permitting). It was created for local producers, wineries and crafts people to show and sell their goods.

There are various tables, straw bales and seats set around a roaring fire, live music, and the still waters of the Theewaterskloof Dam provide an atmospheric backdrop. The aromas of freshly prepared foods such as pizza, German sausages, Sushi, hamburgers, pancakes, Indian food, and much more fill the air and entice hungry visitors. The local wine producers offer wine tastings and the purchasing of their wine by the glass, bottle, or case. The bar is stocked with various local beers, larger, and soft drinks. All this creates quite a party feel!

Children are well looked after too, with a bouncy castle, play area, face painting and much more! The market opens at 6pm with a R10.00 entrance fee per adult. Children under the age of 16 enter for free. Please come and join us for a wonderful evening for the whole family! We look forward to seeing you!
