Exhibiting artists and trades 2026
Lost & Found - discover talent, creativity and craftsmanship
We proudly promote and support Australian makers and welcome the talented international makers that share their time, their knowledge and incredible skills over this special weekend.
Meet the makers - watch, learn, have a go!
The ethos behind the Fair is one of discovery; introducing you to the talented makers in this country that are pursuing careers in lost arts, rare trades and forgotten crafts.
Artisans at the fair will be demonstrating and sharing their trades skills throughout each day.
There is an artisan presentation program on stage each day to deliver an insight in what it takes to be a maker and what inspires them and how they do what they do.
Pack a picnic, relax under the gum trees, climb and the magical Hanging Rock and enjoy the atmosphere.
(Hanging Rock access is included in ticket price).
Freshly prepared food and beverages are available made by local producers.
Vege and GF options are available. No commercial soft drinks/cans. No alcohol.
