Exhibiting artists and trades 2025
We proudly promote and support Australian made, this is of utmost importance to our integrity and to each artisan that comes to the fair and openly shares their time, their knowledge and incredible skills over this special weekend.
Meet the makers - weekend long program
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. If you need to take a break grab some delicious local food and take a seat in the historic racecourse grandstand and enjoy the atmosphere. Freshly prepared food and beverages are provided by local producers. We support locally made; no soft drinks and no alcohol. Vege and GF options are available.
