Designer Easter market
DESIGNER EASTER MARKET TO BE HELD AT THE HISTORIC COURTYARD OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Following the runaway success of its Christmas market in December 2010, the historic Evangelical Lutheran Church circa 1780, the oldest operating church in Cape Town, and Freeworld Coatings, South Africa's leading coatings company, will jointly host another designer artisan market on the Saturday before Easter. This event will take place on 16 April at the Freeworld Design Centre premises along Cape Town's Fan Walk, with the market in the courtyard that lies between Freeworld Coatings and the church. There is no cost to attend the market.

Designer exhibitors, which include Heartworks, Helon Melon, Lorenzo Nassimbeni, Design Africa and Clementina van der Walt were all hand-picked by Lauren Shantall, Head of the Freeworld Design Centre, and formerly curator and manager of the Design Indaba Expo. The market will also boast live music and a range of delicious handmade food and drink options. For the kiddies, there will be fun activities such as Easter egg painting. In addition to the exquisite handmade goodies on offer, Jacques Erasmus' Hemelhuijs café will stay open for the day. The Freeworld Design Centre will also be open and the centre currently features an interior design exhibition by leading local designers such as Source IBA, Mila, Yelda Bayraktar and Tracy Lynch.
Kicking off at 09h30 the market will run until 15h00. This event forms part of WalkCapeTown, a post-World Cup initiative, which aims to re-energise the Fan Walk through public events and ultimately enhance the cultural life of the city.
