More about the Country Craft Market:

The Country Craft Market can be found at Southey’s Vines, right opposite the Police Station on Main Road. This beautiful park offers plenty of shade for a leisurely stroll along paths lined with craft stalls, each manned by the crafter himself. No mass-produced products are available, only handcrafts, art and clothing made with care.

Weary shoppers can find respite in the shady food area, with the chance to sit down and enjoy a craft beer, or coffee and tea and a variety of light snacks while listening to mellow music.

The market is pet-friendly, and visitors are encouraged to bring well-behaved pooches on leashes to the market. A Doggy Watering-Hole is provided at the Information stall.

The food area provides a place to sit and relax, while enjoying craft beer, or delicious coffee and a variety of tasty eats. The local Scout troop have been part of the market for very many years, serving delicious burgers and boerewors rolls, among other things. Live music goes a long way to soothe the soul while relaxing in the food area.

There is plenty of safe, free off-street parking behind Southey’s Vines, as well as limited parking on Main Road itself.

INFO FOR TRADERS:
Organisers are looking for new crafters on a regular basis. Their criteria are ‘hand-made products of the highest quality, with the crafter attending each market in person’. They are able to see up to 10 new crafters at each market, which makes a visit to the market a very interesting experience as there is always something new to be seen. All crafters who would like to join as requested to send an email with details of what they make as well as a couple of photos and a contact number.
