What Makes our Market Special?

There’s a magic to the Hermanus Country Market that goes beyond shopping. Here, it’s about community, creativity, and connection.

There’s a magic to the Hermanus Country Market that goes beyond shopping - it’s a space where community, creativity, and connection come to life

Every Saturday, from 9 AM to 2 PM, locals and visitors alike gather to experience the unique blend of artisanal craftsmanship, farm-fresh produce, and vibrant market culture.

Why Our Market Stands Out

At the heart of our market is a deep commitment to authenticity and sustainability. Here’s what makes us truly special:

🌿 Handmade | Homegrown | Local

Every item you find at the market is crafted or sourced with love and care. From handcrafted leather goods and jewellery to wooden décor and home-baked delicacies, each product tells a story of dedication, passion, and artistry. Our traders take immense pride in offering one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate the best of local talent.

🐶 Pet-Friendly and Family-Friendly

We believe that the best weekends are spent together – including your furry friends! Our market welcomes well-behaved pets on leads, and with a lively, open-air setting, it’s the perfect spot for the whole family to enjoy. Kids will love our Kiddies’ Corner, complete with fun activities like Silly Billy Slime Playdough, Meghan’s Masks, painting, colouring-in, a reader’s corner, and the ever-popular Mama Beauty’s Puppet Show! There’s also a jungle gym at the heart of the market, and for older kids, the adjoining cricket field is ideal for a game of ball (when matches aren’t in play).

🎶 A Feast for the Senses

Every Saturday is an opportunity to indulge in a sensory adventure. Stalls brimming with farm-fresh produce, vibrant floral arrangements, and lush potted plants offer a visual and fragrant delight, while handcrafted jewellery, wooden crafts, woven baskets and artwork add texture and creativity to the experience. Great music from our DJ’s fills the air, setting the mood for a relaxed and festive market morning, while foodies can savour everything from freshly baked pastries to gourmet street food.

👩‍🎨 A Hub of Female Entrepreneurship

Our market is powered by women – with over 66% of our stalls owned and managed by female entrepreneurs. By choosing to shop at the Hermanus Country Market, you’re directly investing in the dreams and aspirations of local women who are growing their small businesses and showcasing their talent. From artisanal skincare and handcrafted candles to bespoke fashion accessories, their creativity knows no bounds.

💙 Where Community and Connection Flourish

Beyond being a marketplace, Hermanus Country Market is a meeting place – a space where friendships are formed, collaborations are sparked, and a strong sense of belonging thrives. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor exploring the wonders of the Overberg region, we invite you to become part of our market family.

Join us every Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM and make the Hermanus Country Market a tradition you’ll cherish all year long.
