CRAFT FAIR

The Craft Fair is held on the fourth Sunday of every month with the exception of Easter, when it is always on Easter Sunday, and in December when it is held on the third Sunday of the month. The sales day opens at 8.30 am and closes at 12.30 pm. Parking is available on site with disabled car parking at the front of the Centre.

The sales stalls are situated in the studios and courtyards and are set on the road around the site amongst native trees and walking between the various stalls along the road gives the feel of a bush walk and a pleasant atmosphere.

The sales day’s emphasis is on goods, which the stallholders must make themselves. Plants must also be grown by the stallholder who displays them for sale. This is the reason we call it the “make or grow it sales day”.

Another attraction is the wide range of changing exhibitions on show throughout the year in the Matthew Flinders Gallery as well as a large collection of art and craft items for sale in the Members Gallery.

Refreshments are available from the kitchen situated at the rear of the Matthew Flinders Gallery, which opens on to the deck overlooking the courtyard. Devonshire teas and barbequed sausages and beverages are served at a reasonable price.

Demonstrations can be seen in the Gem Club building and the Woodcrafters buildings during the morning. There are also demonstrations in the pottery studios and Painting in Studio 2.

A special music program ensures that there is always a musician performing on site during the Craft Fair.

The majority of our stallholders are with us every month of the year. If you would like to purchase something special they will be happy to have it for you the following month.

Many have been with us for over ten years.

If you are looking for a pleasant morning stroll through the trees with a dash of retail therapy then our Craft Fair is the place for you and your friends.
