Hartelus Market Returns to Parys this September - 6 September

The ever-consistent Hartelus Market is back again this spring, and the next edition takes place on Saturday, 6 September 2025, from 9am to 3pm at Egweni River Lodge, No. 2 Van Coller Street, Parys.

Spring Picnic Vibes (Minus the Pitch)

Hartelus Market has been running since 2013 and still knows how to draw a crowd without making a fuss about it. Set under budding willow trees and promising a relaxed Saturday vibe, it’s a good excuse to get out of the house, wander around, and maybe (definitely) leave with a full tummy and one or two handmade things you didn’t know you needed.

There’ll be live music for those who fancy some background tunes while they browse or picnic. Expect a bit of craft shopping, a good mix of local food, and probably a few queues if you don’t get there early enough.

With spring just around the corner and the trees doing their thing again, this market is a low-effort, high-reward way to spend a Saturday. Show up, meander, grab something lekker to eat, find something handmade, and pretend you planned your weekend in advance.

Bring a blanket, leave the stress, and maybe don’t wear white shoes if it looks like rain.
