Vendors are invited to book a stall at this year’s annual Fort Nottingham Highland Gathering which joyously returns to the KZN Midlands – this time on Saturday 1 August.

The organisers typically cast their net wide to ensure a wide range of locally-sourced market wares and Midlands based merchandise; food and beverage stalls.

“We want to support local and offer an opportunity for Midlands traders to sell their wares. Our look and feel is of a traditional market day – so we encourage hand-made, home-baked, vintage and thrift. We prefer not to offer mass produced, imported goods or anything which is not environmentally friendly,” explains organiser Louise Fox.

Last year the event wasn’t held, as a precaution against the spread of Foot and Mouth in the area. The experts have given the organisers the all-clear to go ahead with the games this year.

This year, 2026, is 170 years since the fort was established.

For more information, or to book a stall – contact Louise Fox - [email protected] / 082 490 9951.

Early bird tickets available through Quicket.

"Along a quiet stretch of the R103, Fort Nottingham remains among the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands’ most enduring historical sites. This year marks 170 years since the fort’s establishment in 1856, offering a timely opportunity to reflect on its origins and what exists here today, a small yet active heritage site that continues to be shaped by the local community."
