Factory Shop Expo in Cape Town

Get more bang for your buck at the one-stop bargain shop exhibition


With the economic state of affairs in South Africa see-sawing, you’d be wise to master the art of bargain hunting. If you’ve yet to hone this useful (and wallet-friendly) skill, then what better way to start than at the 2016 Factory Shop Expo at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on Saturday, 30 and Sunday, 31 July 2016.

Following a successful 2015 event, the bargain expo promises to be bigger and better, and is set to feature more than 120 brands. From cosmetics to clothing and home décor to health and wellness products, the exhibition vendors are committed to selling hundreds of items at discounted prices. The goods at this deal-finding paradise are ripe for the picking and the expo will be jam-packed with kids’ clothing, food stuffs, toys, women’s wear, pet products, furniture and more.

SWEET THINGS AND DELI TREATS: This year, the showcase also boasts a range of food stalls featuring dried fruit and nuts as well as various sweets and treats at bargain prices. Shopping can be hungry work, but luckily there are plenty of light bites and other delights to keep your spirits high.

TICKETS FOR THE 2016 FACTORY SHOP EXPO IN CAPE TOWN

Tickets are available online via Computicket.com and cost R50p/p for adults. Children under the age of 10 get in for free. A percentage of the money from each ticket goes to the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Trust, so your money is going to a good cause. Tickets will also be available at the door on the day, but due to the large crowds and long queues, it is highly advisable to pre-purchase your passes.
