What's on in and around Knysna

The Market is open from the First Friday in September to the second-last school Friday in June, every week from 4 – 8 pm out of season and to 8:30pm in Season (School holidays). The Market is situated alongside the Knysna Montessori School in Narnia Lane, Welbedacht. The Friday Market provides an advertised trading place which is locally, nationally and internationally supported for its ambient family atmosphere. It includes supervised parking, seating and shelter, bonfires and live music, a quality craft selection, a bar and an amazing choice of locally produced food which may be enjoyed on the premises or at home.

Naturally FOOD........and what a variety! The emphasis is on natural and organic products: fresh breads, organic vegetables, home-cooked meals. “Healthy options” is our motto - the best locally produced cheeses, fresh mushrooms, delicious pies, fresh meats, bottled products...… and much much more. Enjoy a lazy breakfast under the mighty oak, then load up your basket with fresh wares for the week-end. Then, CRAFTERS & ARTISTS ............this area has a wealth of crafters not found anywhere else in South Africa. We have so much variety, from barbie doll clothes, to ethnic art, to decoupage, to woodwork, to jewellery, to clothing ~ and many well known artists. And on to SPECIALITIES which make up all the rest and include Books, Music, Plants, Flowers, Shells, Gems and much more !!

The contributing factor to the success of this market is that the majority of the stall holders have crafted their own products, which makes it entirely unique and original. You will find original art, handmade clothing, metal work, wooden products, hand spun wool, ceramics and many more. You will also have the opportunity to meet the real people who have used their creative talents to produce the most unusual array of merchandise. There is also a country market atmosphere because it’s the place to meet your friends, listen to live music, share your news and experience the spirit of the garden route.
