Designer Festive Market in Cape Town Central

The Evangelical Lutheran Church - Cape Town's oldest operating church - and Freeworld Coatings - South Africa's leading coatings company - will jointly host a designer artisan Christmas market.

This will be followed by the church's annual Carols by Candlelight. The event forms part of WalkCapeTown, a post-World Cup initiative, which aims to re-energise the Fan Walk through public events and ultimately enhance the cultural life of the city.

The church’s popular annual Carols by Candlelight is a non-denominational event that takes place within the church itself. Visitors to the market will be able to enter the church from the courtyard and all faiths are welcome to attend the carols. The market will run for a further two days after the opening carols event, and is in aid of the church’s children’s home.

The market features true Cape Town designer exhibitors, including Heartworks, Heath Nash, Wild Olive and Clementina van der Walt, who were all hand-picked by Lauren Shantall, Head of the Freeworld Design Centre, and former curator and manager of the Design Indaba Expo.

In addition to the exquisite handmade goodies on offer, there will be a host of food offerings and Jacques Erasmus’ Hemelhuijs café will be open for the duration of the market.

This year will also host the first “Designer-Maker Junior Market”. This section of the market will be dedicated to the young and young at heart and will be conceived of, and run by Sam Scarborough of Kids Décor.
