This market is an experience, no doubt. Enhancing the old station feel is an 80-year-old steam train that rolls past the market every weekend. The market is located next to an old railway track, so you can enjoy this roaring scene from the station’s platform or view its arrival from the Market’s leisure deck. We guarantee the kids – and stream train enthusiasts, of course – will revel in the thunderous hooting, whistling, and puffing experience .Visitors also have the chance to hop on the train and explore its interior. The steam train stays in the station until around 14.15, where it then heads back to Cape Town.
But the old railway station and steam train aren’t the only things that this awesome market has to offer. Enjoy live music while you stroll and explore the countless stalls available. From artisan cheese to Dim Sum, Elgin market has a delicious option for everyone. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids busy too, including a jungle gym, roundabout and indoor and outdoor climbing walls.
