As the festive season approaches, CapeGate Shopping Centre is preparing to greet families, fitness enthusiasts, and holiday shoppers with an exciting array of activities designed to enhance the spirit of togetherness and joy.
Zoë Enslin, the centre’s Marketing Manager, shared her vision for these festive activities, saying: “The holidays often slip by in a rush, so we wanted to offer easy ways for people to make small but meaningful memories. Whether it is choosing a handmade gift, spending time with children, or trying something active, the aim is to create simple moments that bring a bit of joy.”
CapeGate’s Fit Club
The festivities kick off with CapeGate’s Fit Club on Saturday, 29 November, taking place at the undercover parking area at Entrance 6. This energetic morning features a 45-minute Zumba class followed by a 45-minute Pilates session, for R50. Participants can secure their spot through Webtickets and will receive a complimentary smoothie voucher post-workout, courtesy of Virgin Active and Kauai.
This lively event not only aims to foster community spirit but also sets a vibrant tone for the holiday season. “There is something uplifting about moving together. Whether you are trying Zumba for the first time or easing into Pilates, it is a chance to step away from the rush and do something refreshing," Enslin said.
Outdoor Festive Market
Running from 21 November to 24 December, the Outdoor Festive Market will transform the centre’s exterior into a lively scene filled with music, lights, and a stunning showcase of local crafts. In collaboration with Cape Craft, the market features an impressive lineup of 380 vendors offering handmade items, traditional festive decor, and thoughtful gifts, complete with a gift-wrapping station to tie everything together. Admission to the market is free.
CapeGate Ice Rink
A much-loved seasonal feature returns from 5 December to 11 January: the CapeGate Ice Rink inspired by Disney. Open daily from 10am to 8pm, the rink offers 50-minute skating sessions for R70, including skate hire, catering to children aged 3 to 13, with parents welcome to assist. Friendly rink staff will be present to support young skaters, ensuring it’s a delightful family outing. The rink will be closed on 25 December and 1 January.
The Disney-themed ice rink has become a cherished holiday tradition at the centre, where families can witness children exploring their confidence on the ice, all while creating joyous holiday memories together. Bookings can be made via Webtickets, ensuring participants have a chance to take part in this enchanting winter wonderland.
