Win a Stream Train Trip to the Elgin Market Worth R6 000
One lucky reader stands the chance of winning a spectacular day trip for two aboard Ceres Rail, plus vouchers for the steampunk-themed Elgin Railway Market.
Few things are more covetable than a steam-train ride through the countryside… And with the Ceres Steam Trains (namely Jessica, Bailey and Red Devil), you get the full train experience, complete with all the travelling comforts.
This family-friendly ride – which runs every second weekend on a Saturday – departs from the Royal Cape Yacht Club near the V&A Waterfront at 8am, and takes you through the Witzenberg region, past vineyards, olive groves, majestic mountains and fields of wheat and canola to the fruitful Ceres Valley.
Once on your way, you’ll enjoy comfortable lounge cars, hot beverages and savoury snacks in the Dining Car, or beer, bubbly, wine and soft drinks in the Bar Car, before arriving at your final destination: the steampunk-themed Elgin Railway Market, where a wonderful array of stalls and a magical atmosphere await.
Does this sound like the stuff of an Agatha Christie murder mystery? It need not be – we’re giving away a pair of tickets for the Ceres Steam Train, that includes a three-and-a-half-hour pitstop at the Elgin Railway Market plus vouchers valued at R4 500!
Market highlights
If you win this fabulous prize, your vouchers will include:
- Shelley Taylor Designs for beautiful jewellery
- SoVinhos for wine tastings
- JAC Crafts for rustic, upcycled wooden wineracks
- Ground Central Coffee Roastery for coffee (freshly brewed and ground to go, complete with your own bean grinder!)
- L-Gin Craft Gin for apple and blueberry gin cocktails
- J&J Sushi for family-sized sushi platters
- Splashh Smoothies & Juices for large smoothie or juice and a milkshake
- The Station Grill for a burger and chips
- Chilli Lingo Hot Sauce Company for a fiery sauce
- Bellicious Chocolate for a brownie and handmade marshmallows
- Ella’s Elgin Farm Food for a wholesome farm-style vetkoek breakfast and pancakes
- Flour + Love for two slices of homemade chocolate cake, a cup of tea, and eisbein with a cabbage salad and potato wedges
- Pudding & Pie for six lemon meringues
All that’s left to do – once your eating, drinking and shopping is complete – is to hop back onto the locomotive, as the valley streams past your window, and delivers you back to Cape Town at 5.30pm. But for now, simply enter below, and this amazing experience could be yours.

I get quite steamed up just imagining this trip! I am model train fan and this would be just the bees knees. I have travelled on steam trains as a youngster doing national service but my wife has never done so and would love a trip to Elgin. Growing up in Woodstock we could hear the steam engines chuffing away when the north wind blew up from the shunting yards and as kids we used to go down to watch them. Plus we are big steampunk fans as well!

I love travelling by train as it brings back super special memories. there is just no better way to relax, and experience the ride, the beautiful countryside and not having to worry about traffic, drinking and driving, and share it with somebody special. I was very surprised by this as it must be the best kept secret in town! Also, lately, one has become weary of traveling by train with all that’s going on, and I am so very pleased to know that this hasn’t kill the industry and the wonderful tradition and experience of train rides is alive and well, for me and my children. So thank you, what a great thing to do and push through on. I travel extensively and am really really super stoked about this, and to share with likeminded friends and company. I think I will have to go, and yes, not all can win, but I must make a plan to go and visit the market. If I could be the one winning the trip? WOW! 🙂

This trip would be a dream for my husband and I as he has been hospitalised twice since
3 August when he was rushed into Critical Care at Panorama Medi Clinic and then again into ICU at the same hospital on 28 August and discharged on 3 September. So such a treat would be better than any tonic that his Physicians could prescribe!!! To visit the market would be unbelievable and just to be pampered for a day would relieve all the stress that we have been subjected to. Fingers crossed and kind regards. Sandy Ahern
