Chapter 14: Markets

You can expect to find anything amidst the hustle of the markets in Cape Town. But if you’re looking for a farm-fresh outing with truckloads of good stuff to eat and drink, walk this way.

The Neighbourgoods Market

The Old Biscuit Mill is a vibrant hub of art, design, and food, right in the heart of Woodstock. It’s the cool capital in Cape Town and one of the most exciting up-and-coming hubs.

Why go?

This repurposed factory space comes alive on Saturday mornings with the Neighbourgoods Market. From bakers to butchers, grocers to designers, the market features over 100 speciality traders.
