Garden Art Kwekery Gets Ready for Its Kersliggie Mark - 20 December

Garden Art Kwekery is gearing up for its annual Kersliggie Mark on 20 December 2025, and the team seems perfectly happy to lean into the festive chaos that comes with late-December markets. The event will take place at 28 Noorder Street, Parys, where the lights will be switched on, the braais will sizzle, and the community will wander in from 5 pm till late.

A Market That Knows Its Crowd

The Kersliggie Mark has become a familiar stop on the local calendar. This year marks the ninth market and it promises its usual mix of handmade goods, edible temptations and the kind of finds that only make sense during the holidays. Shoppers can expect everything from leather items to hand dyed cotton wool that will no doubt make its way into a grandmother’s knitting bag by New Year.

For the Little Ones and the Not So Little Ones

Christmas Father is scheduled to arrive from 19h00 and will be on standby for photos until late. Parents can prepare themselves for the usual negotiations about sugar, face paint and why the queue to Santa always moves slower than expected. The organisers have kept the atmosphere family friendly without turning it into a school fundraiser which is a relief to anyone who has lived through one.

The organisers describe the evening as a chance to relax under the Christmas lights with good food and drinks while supporting local makers. They keep the invitation simple and honest. Come along and celebrate with them at the market. No fuss. No speeches. Just a warm night out before the year wraps up.
