Woodstock

Woodstock - About the Neighbourhood

Woodstock is one of the oldest suburbs in Cape Town and it is also one of the hippest. An incredible mix of diversity and cultures combine to make the neighbourhood a vibrant, bustling blend of food, fashion, arts, and design. Woodstock is a place to be seen and heard, favoured by locals for good reason.

The renovated Old Biscuit Mill is home to cool design stores and hosts the weekly Neighbourgoods Market, with street food stalls, African handicrafts and designer fashion. On nearby streets, quirky stores sell vintage fashion, upcycled furniture and antiques.

Woodstock is also known for its street art and even though this is clear for all to see, some of the best gems can only be found off the main thoroughfares so you may want to book a walking tour. One of the best know is a street art tour by artist Juma Mkwela.

Happy International Day of Sign Languages 🤟

With over 300 different sign languages in use globally, each with its own unique vocabulary and grammar, this special day celebrates the importance of preserving sign languages as part of linguistic and cultural diversity.

This year is extra special as South African Sign Language became SA’s 12th official language in July this year. 🎉

“Accessibility With Jabaar” TV presenter Jabaar Cassiem Mohamed, who is doing incredible work within the deaf community in the city, shares some sign words you should know when visiting Cape Town.

Together, let’s ignite the revolution of universal access in the Mother City.
