Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Lowveld, Hoedspruit is a bustling town that offers visitors and residents a unique blend of natural beauty and community spirit. One of the town’s highlights is its vibrant markets, particularly the Hoedspruit Farmers Market and the Family Market, which showcase the region’s rich agricultural heritage and artisan culture. Here’s the needed information for your visit.

The Farmers Market in Hoedspruit

The Hoedspruit Farmers Market is a beloved monthly event held on the first Saturday of each month at the area of the Farm House on the Zandspruit Commercial Boulevard.  Running from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM, this market is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the local culture and flavors.

Our recommendations

Combine a visit to the Farmers Market with some drinks at the Endstreet Brewery stall or have lunch at Arugula or La Baguette. Oh and don’t forget to bring some cash, most market operators have a card machine but not all.

The family market is a newer additions to the monthly Hoedspruit markets. The family market, or sometimes also called the family fun day, is normally held every last Sunday of the month from 11:00 till 16:00. As the name suggests this market focuses more on family fun activities which change every market. Live music is often played.
