The inaugural Majestic Night Market hosted at the Majestic Garden Centre got off to a splendid start last Friday, as patrons gathered to let their hair loose and enjoy a fun night out.<\/p>\n

Other than getting the community together, the market served as a fund-raiser for the Lambton Klip Sector Four CPF (LKCPF).<\/p>

Locals such as Nzunza Mahlangu popped by the market to get a few necessities for his pet snake, Red.<\/p>\n

Jordan Engelbrecht used the market as an opportunity to spend time with Loki, a bearded dragon living at SaveMe Reptile Rescue Centre, sponsored by his family.<\/p>

\u201cWe want to bring back the culture of letting loose on Fridays, by creating a space where there is all types of fun available for the entire family,\u201d said Ilonka Nel, founder of SaveMe Reptile Rescue Centre , and one of the market organisers.<\/p>\n

The market promised entertainment for the entire family and lived up to the expectation.<\/p>\n

There was a children\u2019s zone with an array of games to be played, and various treats such as milkshakes and pancakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe endeavour to be different from other markets and to achieve this we listen to what the market goers hope to see at our markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to cater for everyone in the community, it is tough, but fun work.\u201d<\/p>\n
