EXPERIENCE: AUTHENTIC. VIBRANT. UNFILTERED.
THIS IS DURBAN'S LIVING MARKET.
At The Stables, we’re more than a market we’re Durban’s heartbeat. A vibrant, family & pet- friendly space where:
✔ Local makers thrive (from grandma’s chutney to upcycled fashion) ✔ Culture connects (through food, art, and live beats) ✔ Community grows (one conversation, one purchase at a time)
Master Plan.
