About this audio guide
This guide to Time Out Market in Cape Town traces what stood here first: a coal-burning power station from 1903, and later a V&A food market where more than forty small traders worked until their leases ended in 2022. You'll hear the closure through a chocolate maker's own words about handing a proudly South African market to an overseas company, and what renovators found when they stripped away decades of additions from the old brick and stone. It follows how few of those original vendors made it into the kitchens standing here now.
