As the 25th of December approaches why not ditch the mall in favour of one (or more) of the country’s Christmas markets. Stack up on festive nibbles, stocking fillers, and decorations… or simply stroll around to pleasantly while away a few hours.
From fashion and food to bespoke design items, craft and entertainment, there’s sure to be a merry market nearby that will no doubt be more enjoyable than the snaking ques and Boney M Christmas jingles that fill shopping centres.

Freeworld Centre Designer-Maker Market
The Bay Food and Wine Market (Hout Bay)
Blaauwklippen Christmas Market
