On Saturday, 26 October 2024, Tinktinkie Kleuterskool transformed into a buzzing hub of colour, creativity, and community as we hosted our much-anticipated Market Day – and what a fantastic day it turned out to be!
With over 40 vibrant stalls and delicious food trailers lining the grounds, the atmosphere was full of excitement from the very start. From the smell of freshly grilled charcoal BBQ to the sweet scent of candyfloss and traditional Ma’moul drifting through the air, there was something to tempt every taste bud. Ice cream, cakes, and more delicious delights kept everyone smiling – and snacking – all day long!
To help spread the word and draw an even bigger crowd, we teamed up with Helderberg Radio Station, who kindly announced the event and helped boost the buzz. And it worked — the turnout was amazing!
The shopping scene was a treasure trove of beautiful and unique items. From handmade soaps and artisanal candles to delicate jewellery, natural skincare, and stickers that made the kids’ eyes light up — there was a little something for everyone. We also had specialty stalls selling Palestinian goods, Gipsey clothing, and offering henna art, adding a wonderfully diverse and cultural flair to the day.
For the little ones, there was no shortage of fun! A Kids Playpark kept the laughter going, while face painting and other delightful activities ensured constant entertainment. Watching children dash between stalls with colourful faces and sticky fingers was pure joy.
Live music filled the air, giving the event a relaxed, festive vibe that encouraged people to stay, mingle, and soak up the experience. And for those needing a moment of calm, we offered wellness services — soothing head, shoulder, and foot massages — that were a hit with tired parents and busy market-goers alike.
The spirit of the day was all about community, creativity, and connection. Whether you came to support local businesses, enjoy a day out with your family, or simply treat yourself to something special, Market Day delivered on every level.
We’re so grateful to everyone who took part — from our passionate stallholders to our incredible visitors — and to the amazing team who helped make the day such a great success. We’re already dreaming up ideas for the next one!
