Market at The Palms

A fantastic new market, the Market at The Palms, is held every second Saturday in Woodstock. The brainchild of Isabella Niehaus, foodie and stylist extraordinaire, this market promises to bring us the best that the West Coast and Platteland have to offer, right here in Woodstock.

The market offers a smorgasbord of delicious, fresh and distinctive food, with each of the traders handpicked for their special offering. Look forward to fresh Saldanha oysters and other seafood, fynbos teas, Tulbagh wines, gorgeous flowers, artisan breads, handcrafted chocolate, gourmet sandwiches, scrumptious melktert and fresh produce like figs, pomegranates and waterblommetjies. It’s not only food though, it also showcases unique linen, crockery, microbrewery beer and handmade baskets – new and exciting traders are always being added.  Accompanied by live music, special events and demonstrations, this market is the perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday with friends and family.

There is ample parking, and the venue is wonderfully spacious and flows outdoors. You certainly do not get the feeling of being in a mall or at on overly-busy market. Visit them on Facebook or on Twitter @PalmsMarket to find out when the next one will be held.
