ADET invites you to its first yard sale, which will be open to the community of Westbury from the 12th - 14th of December 2017.

A selection of international and local brands will be sold for prices ranging from as little as R15! Expect to find elegant shoes, gorgeous handbags, formal shirts, and many more items which can be personal gifts or gifts for loved ones. There is no entry fee for the sale. A daily raffle of R10 per entry promises one person a chance to win an amazing hamper! Parking will be available and food and refreshments will be sold at the premises.
