Urban Farmers host successful night market in Pomona

Urban Farmers once again hosted their popular night market with a Mother’s Day twist.

Held on March 10 in Pomona, the event allowed local business owners to showcase their offerings with gift ideas especially suited for the occasion.

Shoppers arrived in celebration, browsing for the perfect Mother’s Day presents.

From handcrafted jewellery and perfumes to delicious coffee and warm fires, the market offered a memorable evening for all who attended.

Fire pits brightened the cold evening, drawing people together, and local music by local artist Jimbou added to the welcoming atmosphere.

Nicoleen Snibbe was among those who enjoyed the evening. She said the variety of items and the warm ambience stood out.

“The market turned out great and lit; there’s a lot of light, nice perfumes, and the jewellery is affordable and pretty,” she said.

“The fire was a great idea because it’s quite cold. The coffee was also amazing. Jewellery is my favourite; you have to look pretty and smell nice, too.”

Although the market was themed around Mother’s Day, it offered something for everyone, with a range of items catering to different styles and preferences.

Sarah Hewitt shared her preference for night markets over daytime events.

“I enjoyed the market. I’ll buy myself something later,” she said.

“I’ve attended a few markets before, and I love the atmosphere here. The fire helps with the cold, and there’s a wide variety of items to choose from. I also enjoy the music. It adds to the vibe.”

Sharnay Booysen, a regular visitor, said the fires were a thoughtful touch.

“I love the market so much, not just because my family has a stall here, but because there are so many things to see and buy,” she said.

The Mother’s Day night market was another successful event for Urban Farmers. It combined community spirit, local business support, and a warm, festive environment.
