Pietermaritzburg, 14 October 2025: Liberty Midlands Mall has steadily become the centre of entertainment in Pietermaritzburg, offering a wide variety of experiences that go well beyond shopping. From cinema outings and arcade games to go-karting and interactive digital zones, the mall has created a vibrant leisure destination under one roof.

With the only cinema in Pietermaritzburg, Cine Centre is more popular than ever, showing the latest local and international blockbusters on the big screen. Just a short walk away, visitors can enjoy everything from the thrill of go-karting at Wicked Karting to nostalgic rides at Funtubbles and arcade game fun at Fantasia. The popular mall train continues to be a favourite with children, providing a welcome break for parents during their shopping trips.

Blending Entertainment and Leisure

Midlands Mall has also added new experiences that cater to a broad mix of interests. The Virtual Reality Zone draws gamers and tech enthusiasts, while the rainbow rain umbrella selfie spot near RocoMamas and the new angel wings selfie spot at the cinema have become popular photo backdrops for visitors. The mix of sit-down restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and takeaways offers plenty of dining options, whether for a family meal or a quick bite.

Additionally, the mall hosts regular seasonal campaigns, including Easter and Christmas promotions, gaming festivals and artisanal markets that support local makers. These activations add even more variety and reasons to visit Midlands Mall.

Quickly becoming a firm favourite on the Pietermaritzburg calendar, the next Midlands Mall artisanal market will take place on Saturday, 11 & Sunday, 12 October. This popular event brings together a carefully selected collection of small-scale makers from across KwaZulu-Natal. From freshly baked breads and raw honey to handmade candles and cured meats, the market highlights the skill, care and creativity behind locally made products.
