WELCOME TO
THE HEART OF SOMERSET WEST

Harnessing the charm of Somerset West’s ‘old town’, the Village Collective is a partnership initiative that aims to transform and renew the underutilised CBD into a connected place where people want to live, work, visit and shop. 

With The Village Garden - one of Somerset West’s hidden gems - forming a delightful gateway, the area currently spans the City Improvement District (CID) and precincts of Main Road, Bright, Caledon and Drama Street.

SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

With a shared desire to restore a sense of community and pride in the historic heart of Somerset West, The Village Collective has grown to include a variety of businesses and organisations within the CID (City Improvement District).

Emma Pardoe grew up in Somerset West with a dream to enrich her hometown with more opportunities. While Somerset West offered a beautiful lifestyle, Emma felt there were too many things you had to travel to the city to find. On 1 March 2005, she took a leap of faith and launched her own chartered accounting and auditing practice.

Causes We Care About: The Charities of Somerset West

With the celebration of Human Rights Day this month, we are shining a light on the local heroes of our village – the organisations that work tirelessly to uplift, protect, and empower those who need it most. These charities, championed by Somerset West locals for Somerset West locals, embody the true spirit of community.
