On day two of the Show, the exhibition will consist of vehicles dating from as far back as the late 1890’s, to more recent times. These are the classics that invoke an era of elegance, a more relaxed way of life and a time when craftsmanship was an important element of vehicle design and manufacture. This is always a popular display and will appeal to anyone with a love of restored and maintained classic vehicles.

The J&B® Met — 31 January
Want to dress up to the nines, spot celebrities or indulge your inner papparazzi? The J&B® Met is the place to do it.
Every Saturday, our very popular market takes place on the lawn in front of the thatched roofed Mon Repos under the huge shady trees – some, centuries old (extending onto the bricked courtyard). The market offers a wide variety of products for you to purchase for yourself as well as offering a wide choice of gifts for friends and family. Jewellery, paintings, organic fruit and veggies, indigenous crafted items (where you can chat with the maker!), furniture, biltong and droëwors, fresh oysters, pure honey, freshly-baked breads, plants and clothing items are just a few of the items currently for sale. Sometimes we also offer wine tasting!
Our kitchen has a variety of sumptious breakfasts available, with the Farmhouse and Omelettes taking a definate lead.
The Saturday Market at Oude Libertas is expanding each and every week and is well worth visiting.
TRADING HOURS – 08h00 till 14h00
