The highly popular Bosman’s Crossing Market is moving to the Oude Libertas theatre complex as of Saturday 5 September, reports www.mothercityliving.co.za
The Stellenbosch Fresh Goods Market, which opened 18 months ago, became known as the ‘Bosman’s Crossing Market’. Bosman’s Crossing is a trendy new area of Stellenbosch, but a little hidden from the main roads, and is the home to Dalla Cia, Stellekaya, Pane e Vino, apartment blocks, and some shops.
Distell, the owners of Oude Libertas, is moving its Distell Arts and Culture department to Oude Libertas, and will be offering musical entertainment during the market trading days.
The restaurant at Oude Libertas will be revived, and the market owner is taking over the restaurant with her “Slow Food Market” hat, serving fresh local food and picnics, seven days a week.
On every first Saturday of the month the Hearth Fair will also be at the Oude LIbertas, with ‘hot of the press’ designer goods and fashion.
Attempts to start a new Bosman’s Crossing market in the existing location, driven by some of the permanent tenants in the area, appear to have failed. A previous market at Oude Libertas will no longer be operating from there. No doubt the new market location will cause some confusion.
