THE WINDHOEK INSPIRE MARKET
Saturdays are certainly not only for the boys at Windhoek’s Inspire Market! It’s a place where everyone and anyone will find something to catch their interest.
The Inspire Market is a place where artists, bakers, musicians and norm-shakers display their talent and creations, every Saturday from 8:30 to 14:00.
Visitors are greeted by the most beautiful flowers at the entrance, followed by fresh and organic produce available for purchase. Stalls as far as the eye can see, sell biltong and meat products, and crafty sweet treats such as homemade ice cream and decadent confectionaries. Some locals pop into the market every week, just to grab their weekly veg and marinated chicken supply.
Further down, you can expect quite the variety of handmade goods: quality wooden-platter boards, unique candles, essential oils and body butters, as well as bespoke baby clothing, to name just a few.
The outside area is a whole vibe! Seating is available for groups of various sizes and it is surrounded by a whole bunch of other stalls. If you stay until late-morning, you’ll enjoy the tunes of a different live-performer each Saturday. This is where you’ll find the coffee stands, or if you feel like kicking back, you can grab an ice-cold draught. The food stalls cater for sit-down or takeaway meals, such as pizza, Indian cuisine, braaivleis and more.
The market can be your plans for the entire morning and lunchtime or just a quick pop-in on your Saturday to-do list. It’s a place where you can unwind and at the same time be inspired by new ideas. Listen to local talent while buying a unique and special gift for any occasion, or a bunch of flowers.
The Inspire Market in Windhoek is located at the Old Power Station, on the corner of Noble & Armstrong Street, Southern industrial.
