Hout Bay Lions Craft Market

Top choice in Sea Point to Hout Bay


Browsing the stalls at this little village-green market, a fundraiser for the Lions Club of Hout Bay social-upliftment organisation, is a lovely way to while away an hour or so on a Sunday. You’ll find crafts made by locals, including impressive beadwork, colourfully printed cloths and cute guinea-fowls crafted from pine cones.
