- Tebogo M3 contributionsExceptional Safe Space Market in PretoriaMarket at the Sheds which takes places every 1st Saturday of the month is a wonderful space to go socialize and learn more about Pretoria Culture. I personally love the people, the fashion and food is amazing! It’s a safe space for the LGBTQI+ community and other marginalised communities (oh the have a special Queer edition once every year 😉). The music is everything. Small businesses gets good exposure and for the fact that I can even take my whole family with is beyond amazing! Make a stop at this market and you will not regret it! It’s a Yes! Yes! Yes! From me! I am literally there almost every month!Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 25 August 2023

Good food, music, and vibes!! I am a 3rd-time attendee and this time will be my fourth - and I can tell you this - every attendance hasn't disappointed me. Very secure and family friendly; kids can enjoy bouncing on jumping castles and face painting while the adults can indulge in some live performances from a carefully curated selection of great musicians, get a chance to enjoy the market and have a great time with people who share the same taste in music. Finally, get to rock with the resident dj; Chieovsky the 13th! Defs a must-try out !
