Liberty Midlands Mall’s Artisanal Market Puts The Spotlight On Small-Batch, Handcrafted Local Products

Pietermaritzburg, 25 June 2025: A fresh burst of local flavour is coming to Liberty Midlands Mall as it hosts its first-ever Artisanal Market on Saturday, 28 June and Sunday, 29 June 2025. This thoughtfully curated event will bring together a selection of KwaZulu-Natal’s finest small-scale makers—from artisanal food producers to lifestyle crafters—offering a platform for unique, locally made products in the heart of Pietermaritzburg.

Shoppers can expect an array of high-quality, handcrafted goods, including freshly baked breads, raw honey, cured meats, biltong, nut butters, small-batch sauces, artisanal chocolates, and hand-poured candles. The market also highlights organic produce, fresh florals, wooden wares, leather accessories, and artisanal home décor, reflecting the careful craftsmanship and personal stories behind each stall.

Designed to mirror the rustic charm of countryside markets, the layout will feature natural wood finishes and thoughtful, understated details. This rustic appeal is perfectly balanced within the polished surroundings of the Midlands Mall, creating an inviting environment where community, craft, and creativity collide.

Lawrence Joubert, General Manager of Liberty Midlands Mall, commented:

“We’re proud to give local entrepreneurs a platform to offer their crafts to a wider audience. The Artisanal Market brings something fresh to our retail mix — small-batch goods made with care, regional talent, and thoughtful shopping experiences. We believe it will resonate with shoppers seeking distinctive, quality items made with genuine passion.”

Locally made biltong brings a savoury kick to the market, offering a proudly South African taste experience.

The market aligns with Liberty Midlands Mall’s ongoing commitment to promoting local enterprise and sustainable retail practices.
