Not the festival. Sorry about that.
This is an artisan market on Saturdays in a little district of the city.
Food, clothes, bags – you name it! You walk in to live music under a tent, walk through into an old warehouse and your senses are confronted with everything you can imagine. Smells and tastes. Food from all over the world. Korean, Sashimi, Shwarma, Burgers, Salads, Mac n Cheese, If they don’t have it I would be surprised. There are bars there as well, smoothies, juices, beer, wine, cocktails you name it!
I had spring rolls but that was the tamest option. I will be being more eventful next time. Andre has a vanilla and apple drink which was so good. We all shared food except me, who ate her 3 big spring rolls so quickly i couldn’t share. I had food envy – i will admit now. Andre’s burger and Francine’s salad looked incredible!
We then walked through some of the stalls and shops selling shirts, belts, books, little bits of jewellery to Cocoafair – HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Chocolate shop, R40 for each bar, or small bars for R20. R100 for 6 bars and a gift bag. There are little tasters in front of each of the bars so you can try before you buy.
I would be surprised if i am not there every Saturday of my trip, it is inexpensive, R65 for 3 big spring rolls. Always going to eat something different or listen to different music. Just an amazing little place in an Old Biscuit Mill as well!
Just so unique, Uber to get there from where I am, but i would probably recommend Uber regardless just because of the places it goes through even looking out of the window looked a bit on the rough side. Woodstock itself i quite trendy with Graffiti art on the walls though the little streets. Easy to get around and just a lovely different thing to do on a Saturday with friends.
