About Riversands Farm Village

Riversands Farm Village is one of Gauteng’s most vibrant and beloved outdoor lifestyle destinations, situated in Midrand, just 6km from Fourways. Set on the grounds of a historic farm with a scenic dam at its heart, this lively community hub draws over 850 visitors every weekend to its popular market, restaurants, live music, and family-friendly activities. Beyond its role as a weekend destination, Riversands also offers event hire for private and corporate occasions.

Market and Activities

The farm village market runs every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday, featuring an eclectic mix of artisanal food stalls, craft vendors, and fresh organic produce supplied directly by local farmers. The Broken Mill Café serves what many consider the best coffee in Johannesburg, while the Tractor Bar offers craft beers and cocktails in a relaxed outdoor setting. Playscapes, an innovative kids’ play area complete with a water slide and paddling creek, keeps younger guests entertained for hours. For the more adventurous, treetop forest adventures, a zip-line, and paintball add to the outdoor offering.

Event Hosting

Riversands Farm Village has a strong track record of hosting large-scale public events, including Joburg Day and the 94.7 Cycle Challenge. The farm’s open spaces and scenic natural setting can be hired for private events, corporate activations, live music concerts, art and craft fairs, and family celebrations. The venue’s flexibility allows for both intimate gatherings and large outdoor festivals.

Setting and Atmosphere

The farm’s waterfront dam, indigenous trees, and green open spaces create a naturally beautiful and relaxed atmosphere that is environmentally conscious and dog-friendly. Live music from local artists every Sunday adds to the festive, community-centred vibe that has made Riversands a Gauteng institution.
