It’s almost silly season, holidays are
almost upon us, surf-city will start swelling up with tourists and revellers,
and the panic of last-minute shopping will ensue. Away from the hustle and
bustle, mayhem and craziness, the I heart Market will continue to offer its
unique brand of “slow” retailing, fine street food and quality entertainment
over three Saturdays in December: 7, 14
and 21 from 09h00 to 14h00.
Rated as one of the top markets in the
country, I heart Market has settled into its new home at the urban rustic-chic
Hay Store at the Point Waterfront close to UShaka and the newly opened Vetch’s
promenade.

“Our new venue, has dynamic outdoor spaces
and a fresh vibe, enabling us to inject some new ideas into the market,” says
Anna Savage, owner, and manager of the Market. “We are delighted to now include
entertainment and an array of new retailers. Everything is done and made with
heart here and this is what makes it such a unique experience for our shoppers.
The focus is on encouraging an artisanal, respectful, honouring and
eco-friendly approach to the manufacturing of the goods on sale. Then, of
course, there are the incredibly delicious flavours from the food vendors using
fresh, wholesome ingredients.”
Expect to find mostly handmade and finely
crafted items at the I heart Market, with some amazing ideas for gifts.

‘The idea is to come relax here, enjoy a
delicious bite to eat, mingle with like-minded people, shop, eat some more,
shop some more, and delight in the entertainment. It’s a great family outing,
with something for everyone, and completely away from the madding crowd,” says
Savage.
The three Holiday Season Markets take place
on December 7, 14 and 21 from 09h00 to 14h00 at The Hay Store at the Point
Waterfront. There is street parking with car-guards, and market-goers can also
make use of the uShaka parking, which is directly across the road with a
pedestrian gate access.
