Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Marketfees that was recently hosted here. These are some of our picks from the event that we chose to upload onto Maps. Overall great event. How about something that is organized more frequently? Great way for vendors to network.

Attended the Good Night Market here on the Thursday night which happens once a month. Very festive with live music playing and a great atmosphere. Many food and drink stalls but you're welcome to bring your own bottle to supplement the good food on offer. I had a delicious salmon rosti followed by a caramel and banana pancake. Oh and of course some biltong to go with my craft beer. Highly recommended evening. On from about 5 till 9pm

Venue Hire in Port Elizabeth: Tips, Insights & FAQs
Finding the perfect venue hire option in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape is easier than ever with EventBookr. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate function, birthday celebration, or private party, choosing the right venue can make or break your event. With so many unique spaces available in South Africa — from scenic farms and vineyards to modern city venues — it's important to know what to look for when booking.
One of the most important aspects of venue hire is ensuring that the space aligns with your guest count, theme, and budget. Always confirm whether the venue includes tables, chairs, catering, parking, and audio-visual equipment — or if these need to be hired separately. Some venues also offer packages that include decor, staffing, or even event planning services.
Pricing for venue hire in Eastern Cape varies depending on location, size, and season. In-demand venues in areas like Port Elizabeth tend to get booked up quickly, so it’s best to secure your preferred space early. Many EventBookr venues offer transparent pricing and direct contact details to simplify the booking process.
Indoor vs outdoor venues is another important consideration. Outdoor venues offer natural scenery and fresh air, perfect for summer weddings or daytime functions, while indoor spaces are better suited for climate control, technical setups, and year-round availability. With EventBookr, you can filter venue hire listings by type, amenities, and location — making it easier to find exactly what you need.
Ready to explore top-rated venue hire options in Port Elizabeth? Browse listings, check availability, and connect directly with venues through EventBookr. Whether you're looking for an elegant banquet hall, a rustic barn, or a contemporary rooftop space, your ideal venue is just a few clicks away.
