There will be a morning market on the upper level – offering Glenwood entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their wares and skills – offering fine art, greeting cards, sweet treats, books and CDs, pre-loved clothing, treasures and collectables, beadwork, belts, soaps and décor items. There will be a pop-up coffee truck serving really good coffee, and home-baked goods for morning tea.
Durban’s own Ilza Oosthuizen will be playing a range of evergreens, hum along songs and show tunes on her piano alongside the activity area.
The following Saturday, actual Valentine’s Day, on Saturday February 14 from 09h00 there will be live music and complimentary chocolate hearts.
