DIY classes are the backbone of Alberton's listings, with Leroy Merlin Alberton running a steady programme of hands-on workshops for building shelves, trays, benches and console tables. Around them sit sushi-making and polymer earring classes, paint-and-sip evenings, fun runs, night markets and Halloween events at Meyersdal Nature Estate. Most listings fall between August and October, when spring markets and outdoor runs fill the calendar.
