Here KZN ‘makers’ come together to showcase their craft in a meticulously curated celebration of creativity, offering an array of exclusive, premium goods crafted by passionate individuals across various disciplines.

“Think once-off collections, small batches and one-of-a-kind treasures you won’t find in big malls – delicious artisan food, funky clothing, jewellery, kids clothing, doggie treats or couture,” says the manager of the market, Tanith Molliere.

“We pride ourselves in providing a platform for meaningful connections. Chat directly with the makers, get to know the stories behind their brands, and talk about new ideas and inspirations. So, as customers meander through the stalls and invest in one-of-a-kind treasures, they can take pride in knowing that their support fuels the growth of our talented, local, creative community.”

They invite entrepreneurs who are launching a small, creative business but are a little nervous to go full-scale, to consider trading at the market.

I am Candyce Pillay – fun, energetic and always positive. Community journalism has been a part of my life for 18 years – something I always say with pride when I am asked. As a journalist, I am forever the favourer of the underdog. When I am not penning the latest human interest piece, crime or municipal bit, and occasionally a sports update, you can find me in the place I love most – at home with my beautiful family – cooking up a storm, soaking up the sun with a gin and tonic in hand or binge-watching a good series or documentary.
