QUAYS WHOLE FOOD NIGHT MARKET

The popular Quays Market will celebrate Spring on the edge of the canal in the Point Development area on October 6. Adding ambiance to the evening will be Rob Warren and his band.

The Whole Food Market has enjoyed a series of evening markets at Colombo and morning markets in Bulwer Park and has now firmly established a third venue to their repertoire – the huge function room, outdoor picnic area and mezzanine sun-downer deck at The Quays which is part of the new Point Road development project.

This great initiative continues the vision of Glenwood Community Forum member and market convenor Darryl Hofmann to offer a series of inspired gourmet-events in interesting places. With winter becoming spring, Hoffman wanted a venue from which to enjoy the beautiful change in season – somewhere with a view and a breeze. The Quays is situated on the island surrounded by the canal which boasts gondola rides and pedal boats.

Hoffman has chosen an airy, breezy open venue with more space for more food vendors, more crafters as well as picnic spaces and an elegant sun-downer deck. He has carefully chosen stallholders who will create a deli-vibe – allowing visitors to purchase produce from the stalls, and assemble a meal, indoor picnic style. Included in the stalls mix is organic meats; honey on tap; organic pizzas; artisan breads; fresh olives; marinated feta cheese; fresh herbs; and fresh fruit and veg.

Again, there will be plenty to taste, as well as boutique wines, cocktails, salon beers and beer from micro-breweries. There will be sundowner specials from 17h00 to 18h00.

The Quays Market takes place in the Point Development area on October 6 from 17h00 to 22h00. There is ample parking – alongside the Quays, at the Durban Underwater Club and nearby uShaka, and there will be additional security personnel on duty. To find The Quays – take the second left after uShaka at Wodka, and go over the canal bridge as though going to Durban Underwater Club. Night Market will be on your right.
