Buzzart!

KZNSA Gallery: Now on

Buzzart offers a one-stop shop for all festive shopping – including stocking-fillers and greeting cards. The Gallery will be stocked with art, craft, decor items, garments, jewellery, Christmas tree decorations, recycled art, ceramics, mosaics and accessories. Of particular mention is the KZN Association of Ceramic Artists who has contributed a range of items made by their members. There will also be a selection of paintings reinterpreting the works of iconic South African artist, Pierneef.  

The idea is to spend time leisurely browsing for all your Christmas presents – with gift ideas suitable for tots to grannies; work colleagues and loved ones. If one needs to pause for inspiration and sustenance, the KZNSA Gallery Cafe will be open! The idea is for Glenwood to be the place for festive fare – with Buzzart complementing the Glenwood Market in Bulwer Park – allowing for two Sunday morning festive shopping options – without having to move your car! 

Date                now on            / Tuesday to Sunday

Venue             KZNSA Gallery

Whole Food Night Market

....with great live music!

Docklands Night Market – Durban Waterfront

Friday 6 December: 5pm – 10pm

Part of the attraction of the Night Markets is the fabulous open air live music on offer. This time there will be three musical interludes: First up is Josh Wantenaar singer / songwriter and guitarist / vocalist for Arise; second act on the bill is Majozi who plays a fun twist to covers as well as his own songs,  and thirdly the mic is passed  to Seb Goldswain – talented protégée guitarist, best known for playing with the Sir Walrus band. 

With the beautiful crisp spring evenings, the decision was to take the market outdoors for a while to star gaze while browsing! The idea is to contain the market in the Docklands Hotel’s charming courtyard. The range of products on display is evolving to focus on Durban’s top creatives and funky, cutting-edge design, handcrafted and bespoke items. The vendor mix will include lighting ideas, decor items, restoration services, furniture, fine artists, personal accessories – and of course festive fare. The Docklands restaurant and WODKA will be open for dinner. There will also be food and beverage stalls available. 

Three Cities Docklands Hotel can be found at the corner of Mahatma Gandhi and Browns Avenue. There is ample parking at Docklands– with additional security
