1. Start with Coffee


Before anything else, coffee is a must! The market has a dedicated coffee shop that goes well beyond your standard filter pour. The roasters here take their craft seriously. If you're the kind of person who has opinions about extraction time and milk temperature, you're in the right place.


2. Eat Something Vegetarian (Even If You Don't Usually)


The vegetarian and vegan food offerings at the market have grown tremendously. This isn't just an afterthought. There are dedicated vendors serving creative, seasonal plant-based dishes that hold their own against anything else on the menu. You might be surprised at how delicious they are!


3. Find Your Spot in the Bloedlemoen Gin Garden


By midday, you want a drink and a place to sit. The Bloedlemoen Gin Garden is where the market shifts from errand to experience. Tucked away from the main thoroughfare, this shaded green oasis offers a drinks menu centered around the Bloedlemoen citrus gin brand.


It's the kind of spot where you sit down for one drink and look up an hour later! Bring a friend who's good at conversation. You'll want to linger here.


4. Catch Live Music on the Lawns


Every weekend, the market hosts live music across its outdoor spaces. From acoustic sets on the family lawn to DJ sets on the Castle Lawn, there's always something happening. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, making it a perfect backdrop for your day.


5. Make It a Family Day


If you're coming with kids, the market is genuinely one of the best family day out options in Johannesburg. It's not just because there's space for kids to run around. The Family Lawn features dedicated children's activities on weekends. Plus, the market is dog-friendly throughout! The pace of the place is unhurried enough that nobody feels rushed.
