On Saturday mornings, The Stoep of the Stanford Hotel fills up with locals selling fresh food and goods.
From bakes, preserves, flowers, herbs, fresh vegetables and honey and many more seasonal goodies. The market offers a little bit of everything that passionate green-fingered Stanford locals have to offer. It also serves as a quaint meeting place for residents, weekenders and visitors to chat and catch up on gossip!
You will find offerings of irresistible gourmet pies and pastries, cakes and delectable desserts. Get there early enough, and you’ll probably still find some kitka, seed loaf or ciabatta. There is a carefully chosen selection of pretty plants and potted herbs, while fresh lettuce, pak choi and other leafy greens are available at a stand at the market. Take a basket along and fill it up with fresh goods to eat and prepare for the rest of the weekend.
Pop in at the sweet vintage and antique stores surrounding the courtyard alongside Stanford Art Café on Stanford’s main road, Queen Victoria Street and find some of the most beautiful collectables, books, crockery and furniture that Stanford has on offer.
