Fun and choice for shoppers too

Apart from nocturnal theatres, countless art exhibitions and musical entertainment, the Festival also provides a few playgrounds for shopaholics and those in need of some retail therapy.

Apart from nocturnal theatres, countless art exhibitions and musical entertainment, the Festival also provides a few playgrounds for shopaholics and those in need of some retail therapy.

There are three main locations where an extraordinary variety of goods will be for sale.

The Village Green at Rhodes University's Great Field is a craft market focusing mostly on hand-made arts and crafts. You can expect to see a few clothing stalls there and food vendors of every description.

In the CBD, the Church Square flea market is where informal traders bring and bargain the best prices for their goods. Next to the Cathedral of St Michael and St George in High Street, this is right in the heart of the city.

You’re likely to find more traditional foods here and tasty treats like magwinya (vetkoek), fries with all sorts of sauces, sausage rolls, sweets and all kinds of clothing as well as African crafts.
For bargain hunters and Festinos who are strapped for cash, products at Church Square tend to be more affordable.

The third Festival shopping destination is Fiddler's Green, stashed away behind the Makana municipal buildings. It can be found beyond the passage leading down from Standard Bank (which looks onto Church Square).

Once you see it, your eyes will be met by a world of fun and games with its fun fair and stalls. This is also where the Festival box office is located.

If you’re wondering how you'll manoeuvre around this small but busy town by foot, there is a Festival bus service available. The times and collection points can be found in the back of the Festival programme.
