CHRISTMAS is around the corner and if you are still in need of getting those last-minute gift shopping done, then Cape Town’s favourite multi-faceted market is the place for you.
All roads lead to the Castle of Good Hope in the heart of the city for Kuier@TheCastle this Saturday from 10.00am to 4pm.
Shop from a marketplace of local talent and meet the creative makers, offering a diverse range of lifestyle products from homeware, fashion, art, and accessories that are all handmade right here in South Africa.
Eat your way through mouthwatering local food and drinks. This is an experiential market with fashion shows, live music, singers, dancers, and drumming workshops.
Play with the whole family at The Creative Workshop Area, which will host a variety of interactive workshops throughout the day for all guests.
