Bedford Centre is introducing an exciting new addition to Johannesburg’s social calendar with the launch of the Bedford Sunset Market. Created in collaboration with The Urban Markets, the market will debut on Friday, 10 October 2025, from 16:00 to 21:00 on the open deck parking at entrance 2.

The Bedford Sunset Market is set to transform the centre into an after-hours destination, blending shopping and dining into a curated evening that highlights community, creativity and culture. To set the mood, live entertainment will feature throughout the evening, with acoustic musical performances and DJ’s. 

A collaboration with The Urban Markets

With nearly 20 years of experience, The Urban Markets are known and loved for curating distinctive, family-oriented events in shopping centres, residential estates and unique venues. Their markets have become synonymous with supporting local businesses while creating memorable experiences that bring people together.

Visitors to the Bedford Sunset Market can look forward to a carefully selected line-up of food, craft and entertainment. Artisanal food stalls will showcase gourmet street eats, speciality treats and food trucks, while craft and boutique vendors will offer handmade products, fashion pop-ups, home décor and exclusive local brands.

An evening under the stars

The Bedford Sunset Market is designed as a gathering point for families and friends. With inviting seating areas, delicious street food and a line-up of entertainment, additional to delightful shopping, the market promises the chance to unwind, socialise and enjoy a vibrant evening atmosphere.

The launch event marks the beginning of a new tradition for Bedford, bringing fresh energy to the Bedfordview social scene and reinforcing the centre’s role as a hub for both lifestyle and leisure.
