Friday has finally arrived, and the never-ending week has eventually come to an end. As Newcastillians count the hours down until home time, what is there to do this weekend?
Newcastillians are in for a treat this weekend with a stellar line-up of community-based events which are sure to make for an enjoyable weekend.
Newcastle Farmers Market
August 3 – Newcastle Farmers Market, hosted by Zaya Africa, is one event no Newcastillian wants to miss this weekend.
This month, Newcastle Farmers Market has moved to a bigger, better venue to accommodate Newcastle residents, allowing them to enjoy the day to the fullest while sporting more activities and attractions.
The event will kick off with a sunrise yoga and meditation class at 6.30 am, the weekly Grey Goose Park Run following at 8 am, with the market officially kicking off at 9 am and ending at 3 pm.
There will be more seasonal local vegetables available on the day, as well as new food stalls, nurseries, an array of home-baked goods, a cocktail bar plus arts and crafts. People can also shop for fresh meats, poultry, seafood, fresh milk, eggs and butter while enjoying outdoor activities and live entertainment. The NHS Choir will be providing live entertainment on the day, as well as Steven Couper.
Children can also enjoy the Kids Corner which will be available at the Newcastle Farmers Market. The entrance to the event is free and Newcastillians can even bring their pets to enjoy the day out at the market.
For more information, contact 081 564 0099 or visit the Newcastle Farmers Market Facebook page at Newcastle Farmers Market. The organisers can also be contacted via email on hello@newcastlefarmersmarket.co.za or via Instagram on nnfarmersmarket.
Be sure not to miss out on this truly community-driven initiative.
