Bay Harbour Market - Its not just another market






At last a market where you can relax, spend a day without paying a fortune and move around easily.

I visited this market on a Saturday afternoon with a few friends. I had no expectations because how can any market be as nice as the ever popular Biscuitmill market. Boy was I wrong.  This is a fabulous diverse market. You feel a true sense of community as you wander through stalls ranging from vintage clothing to jewellery, decor, food and refreshments. What makes it even cooler is the different live bands that plays and that the market is open on a Friday night. So go and start your weekend for  a change with some delicious food and drinks, a group of friends and live entertainment.

We had some very tasty sandwiches from this stall above. One sandwich could have fed a village in Ethiopia! So come prepared with an empty stomach.

The market bustling at night.
Food choices includes pizza, chinese, seafood, gourmet sandwiches, brownies and much more. Quench your thirst with wine, juice, beer or a cocktail. You can invite the most fussier eater because they will find something to love here.


Beer on tap! Try some of the microbrewery alternatives as well

One of the many non-alcoholic choices.
Caramel mmm...
Yummy pizza!
Come and say no to these!
Delicious seafood

Shopping at the market is also an experience on its own. You can buy art, jewellery, clothes, lights, puppets:) and lots more! Once again everyone will find something that interests them!

Vintage clothing
Look at these awesome lights! I'm definitely going back to purchase one!
