The Eswatini Farmers Market has reached another exciting milestone with the announcement of KFC Eswatini as its first ever Official Kids Zone Partner, introducing an expanded family experience to this year’s event.

Set to take place on October 10, 2026 at Malkerns Country Club, the Eswatini Farmers Market will bring together music, food, fashion, arts and lifestyle experiences, while offering families a dedicated space where children can play, explore and enjoy a variety of activities.

Through the partnership with KFC Eswatini, children attending the event will have access to the dedicated Kids Zone as part of their entrance experience, giving families even more reason to make the Farmers Market part of their weekend plans.

Festival Director Mbekezeli “Culolami” Dlamini said the partnership reflects the Farmers Market’s commitment to creating experiences that appeal to the entire family.

“We are extremely proud and excited to welcome KFC Eswatini as our first ever Official Kids Zone Partner. The Farmers Market has always been about creating memorable experiences, and this partnership allows us to make the event even more exciting for children and families. We want parents to come knowing that their children will have a safe, fun and engaging space to enjoy themselves,” said Dlamini.

The partnership also adds to the Farmers Market’s growing positioning as more than just a marketplace. The event provides a platform for visitors to discover local products, enjoy live entertainment, connect with creatives and experience Eswatini’s vibrant food and lifestyle offering in one destination.

For families travelling from different parts of the Kingdom, the event is also supported by shuttle services from Mbabane, Ezulwini, Manzini and Matsapha, making access to Malkerns Country Club more convenient.

Tickets are available through Carrot Tickets, with prices set at E300 for general admission, E120 for children and E750 for VIP.

With KFC Eswatini coming on board as the inaugural Official Kids Zone Partner, the 2026 Eswatini Farmers Market is strengthening its appeal as a family friendly lifestyle event that brings together entertainment, local enterprise and memorable experiences for visitors of all ages.
