If Organic is your thing, then this is the perfect market for you! It's open every Thursday and Saturday from 09:00-15:00 and certain public holidays. Entrance is free. This market is located in Bryanston just off the main road, 40 Culross Road, Johannesburg. 

The stalls are situated in a relaxed atmosphere where country music plays out in the background. There's everything organic from fresh produce products, an abundance of health and wellness stalls, clothing, kids toys, arts and craft, not to forget the beautiful outdoor plants and decor. 

Grab a bite at the Deli or Bakery or a Dosa at Meera's, while you meander around the market. 

One great aspect that we found was the services offered at the market. You could learn to craft crystal and glass repairs at Maria Cholewka or enjoy a therapeutic ancient oriental massage by Lizzie at Shiatsu. There are also a host of educational activities for the kids. (See website for more information) 

The market also offers a free shuttle service from selected Sandton Hotels and Bryanston Organic & Natural Market and Liliesleaf between 09:00-16:00, which is great if you traveling or just feel like a day off from the crazy Johannesburg buzz.

Our little Yorkie absolutely enjoyed himself and had fun meeting other dogs too.

Experience the doorway to Africa, from the sunny sandy beaches of Cape Town to the dusky dunes of Cairo. Nestled right outside one of Johannesburg's most loved shopping malls- Rosebank, the market is open everyday from Monday to Sunday.

Starting from the tradesman selling different masks from all over Africa to beautiful handmade dresses to fit a special occasion out, there is definitely something in this market that will bring out the African in you. These pieces are handmade by the craftsmen themselves and some are collected along their journeys around Africa. There's priceless items are perfect to start or add to your existing collections. 

This market does not have any food stalls or music as was experience by the other markets we visited, and you could get through this market within under one hour with ease. However, it is a must see for tourists especially.
