Despite a soft rain that comes and goes during the day, the atmosphere remains lively as families sit on picnic blankets, friends gather under umbrellas, and others relax at wooden tables while enjoying food and drinks from the vendors.

Organiser Handri Coolen said the market is beginning its yearly run after the festive break.

“We’re at the Field and Study Park today for our first market for the year. We start in March, and then we go all the way once a month until December.”

Coolen added that traders are particularly excited to be back after the last market of 2025 was cancelled due to bad weather.
