With the soulful sounds of
the French accordion and jazzy tunes of Tim Burnz wafting through the air,
guests can browse the enticing stalls and shop to their heart’s content. Or
simply relax on the lawn after a game of pétanque whilst the young ones enjoy
the jumping castle and other fun activities in the estate’s chapel – think of
it as a special and blessed kiddies area. The Gabriëlskloof Favourite Things
Market is your ticket to the perfect day out with the whole family, and is the spot to extend your summer sojourn in the Overberg and linger a bit longer in the valley whilst mingling with the local folk.
Whether you need to impress the in-laws, spoil those overseas guests, keep
the little ones busy or simply just want to catch your breath amidst the
maddening festive rush, Gabriëlskloof
Favourite Things Market is your ticket to the good
life.
The market kicks off on Friday, 13 December, at 5pm till 9pm whilst all the
magic will be repeated on Saturday, 14 December, from 11am until 6pm.
