Secret Cape Town: Proudly South African handiwork

Lions Craft Market, in Hout Bay (run by the local Lions Club,) has been going strong for 13 years – and it shows: it’s well organised and there’s a solid core of stallholders, plus a scattering of casuals who ensure each market offers something novel. Most items are made or designed by the stallholders themselves –- no cheap Chinese imports here.

Getting there: The craft market is on the village green opposite the shops in Main Road, (which continues to Chapman’s Peak Drive), and is open every Sunday, weather permitting, from 09h30 to 16h00. Entrance is free.
