WONDER MARKET

The Wonder Market takes place on the first Sunday of any month and embraces a local, environmentally friendly, creative, innovative stance on the shopping experience.

Nestled amongst the trees of the Chris Saunders Park opposite Gateway, it aims to capture the atmosphere of a jovial day out in the country.

“It's been almost six months since Umhlanga's first authentic crafters market hit town and we're over the moon about it!” say the organisers. “If you haven't noticed by now, markets are all the rage again. Unlike most trendy fads that come and go faster than the nail varnish of the supercool that develop them, this one is rooted in a more grounded philosophy: a return to sustainable living, for ourselves, for our neighbours, for the planet.”

It’s a fun day out for the whole family, children can feed the ducks at the nearby pond or be entertained by 'The magic pirate'. The stalls have a wide appeal and there are boutique beers and cherry topped champagne on offer.

The next Wonder Market takes place at Chris Saunders Park in Umhlanga on June 3 from 09h00 to 14h00. The organisers promise some exciting surprises for up and coming mid-year dates. Gates open at 09h00 and close around 14h00. Bring friends, picnic blanket, purse and shopping basket.
