Last updated: Monday, 18 November 2024
For November, Kuier@TheCastle, Cape Town CBD’s biggest family friendly market, is turning into the city’s biggest gift market with over 120 vendors. You can also make a gift, like a tuft rug or jewellery, or adopt a pet from Paws-A-While, the animal adoption non-profit. Here’s more reasons to visit this monthly market at the Castle of Good Hope.
It’s a warm and creative gathering of people from all walks of life. They bring along their families to enjoy shopping from artists and artisans and listen to the stories of the makers while their kids get creative and enjoy a host of activities.
Get a taste of what the market is like:
Kuier’s festive season theme is “shop local, gift thoughtfully”, and there will be a variety of unique and handcrafted goods from local artisans and designers. There’s homeware, fashion, art, accessories and much more.
Plus, the festive theme continues when the market returns on 14 and 15 December. Keep an eye out for updates and all you need to know.

There’s a smorgasbord of over 120 makers with interesting stories. The amazing luxury women’s wear designer, Thabo Makhetha, will be there.
So are ceramists and textile designers, like Whimsical Collection, who do dreamy prints. Kingsdale Emporio, with their tongue-in-cheek, conversation-starter statement socks, have a stall too.
Support over 120 local brands and makers. Image: Kuier@TheCastle
This month, because of Kuier’s collaboration with Paws-A-While, an animal welfare non-profit, you can adopt a loveable new furry family member or shop for wonderful pet accessories.

You’ll also get access to all the museums and exhibitions at the 385-year-old Castle of Good Hope. Like the Koena Art Institute, a gallery of the indigenous art, where you can see Khoisan art and film screenings.

The market opens at 10am and closes at 4pm. People tend to stay for a couple of hours, wandering from stall to stall and into the nooks and crannies of the Castle. The market is in the square under stretch tents, and there’s a harvest table and comfy bean bags scattered everywhere.

Make yourself something special for the holidays, or create a gift for a friend at one of the 13 creative workshops stalls. There’s mosaic jewellery making, crocheting, beading, kids cookie decorating and much more.
There’s creative workshops for all ages and a dedicated Kids Creative Corner. Image: Kuier@TheCastle
