Located in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, the market boasts a wide range of stalls that cater to everyone’s tastes. Whether looking for vintage items, antique finds or new things, this market has everything. From furniture to home decor, collectibles to secondhand goods, you will indeed find something that catches your eye. While browsing through the stalls, take a break on one of the public benches and enjoy the stunning view of Table Mountain and the scent of the sea. The Milnerton Flea Market is suitable for all ages and is even pet-friendly.
This bustling market is a treasure trove of hidden gems, and the vendors are friendly and welcoming. The pricing is reasonable, and you can negotiate the prices to your satisfaction. The market also features a variety of food stalls, including many halaal options, and portable bathrooms are available for shoppers’ convenience. The market is well-curated, and you can find a bit of everything, from brick and brack to impressive fine art. The Milnerton Flea Market is a great place to spend a Saturday or Sunday rummaging through over 250 stalls. Whether you’re looking for something specific or want to wander around and see what you can find, the Milnerton Flea Market is worth a visit.
Every month, over 270 crafters and designers come together to showcase their handmade goods, such as jewelry, clothing, ceramics, and woodwork. The market offers a vast array of high-quality and unique products that you won’t find anywhere else. As you browse the stalls, you can listen to live music and sample local delicacies, all while enjoying stunning views of Table Mountain and the surrounding gardens.
The market is held on the last Sunday of every month, excluding June, July, and August. It’s a fantastic way to spend a Sunday soaking up the vibrant atmosphere and exploring the best of Cape Town’s local crafts and food. The venue is wheelchair-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking in and around the market. Remember to bring a hat and sunscreen, as it can get quite hot in the afternoon. The Kirstenbosch Craft and Food Market is a perfect place to spend an hour or more, whether you’re looking for a gift for someone or want to enjoy some nibbles and listen to a funny little band.
It is a must-visit for ceramics enthusiasts. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted with various beautifully crafted ceramics, stoneware, and earthenware at reasonable prices. A market is a great place to discover the beauty of ceramics and snag some fantastic deals. What’s great about this market is that you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, so there are no middlemen and no inflated retail prices. As I explored the stalls, I could see the passion and love that the artists had put into their work, and I found myself drawn to many unique and unusual pieces.
Rondebosch Park is a perfect venue for the market. There were substantial wild fig trees under which people were milling about, enjoying the Cape Town vibe and the traditional food. Music was playing, and people of all ages were having a great time. The market was well laid out, and a good variety of food and beverages was available. The atmosphere was incredible, and so many talented artists were on display. I could have spent hours browsing the stalls and admiring the craftsmanship. The park was also lovely, with clean toilets and plenty of parking available. Overall, it was a fantastic day out, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable morning, loads of gift ideas, and a creative atmosphere.
The Morning Market is an indoor and outdoor market every Saturday morning at the Plumstead Methodist Church. Everyone may sell their arts and crafts at the market, making it an excellent place for the whole family.
Make the most of the weekend by supporting local artisans and small businesses at these vibrant markets. You never know what you’ll discover, so grab a coffee and explore.
