Rooy Food Market & Car Boot Sale Returns - 26 October

A Day Out with Food, Finds and a Bit of Wine

On Sunday 26 October, Potchefstroom’s Van Rooyen Hall will once again turn into a hive of activity as the Rooy Food Market takes over from 10:00 until 15:00. Entrance is free, and the line-up has something for almost everyone: artisan food, cheese, meat, handmade crafts, live music and even a car boot sale.

Wine on Wheels

This time, visitors can look forward to a special appearance from L’Avenir Wines of Stellenbosch. They’ll be pouring tastings from their mobile setup.

From Jewellery to Junk

The stalls promise a mix of both the shiny and the sentimental. SS Creations will be bringing stainless steel jewellery, ranging from daisy rings and yin yang earrings to necklaces that could probably survive a small apocalypse.

On the other side of the hall (or maybe in the parking lot, depending on who arrives first), the car boot sale will be happening. Think “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure” in its purest form: radios, records, ornaments, chairs, and whatever else fits into the back of a bakkie.

Music, Food and More

Live music will run alongside the browsing, and the food stalls are set to serve the kind of eats that keep people lingering a little longer. From sweet treats to hearty savoury bites, it’s less about fine dining and more about filling up while enjoying the market’s atmosphere.

Between the wine, the food, the stainless steel sparkle and the unpredictable treasures of the car boot sale, the Rooy Food Market is shaping up to be a solid Sunday plan. Pack some cash, bring your sense of humour and maybe an extra shopping bag, just in case.
