Thereʼs nothing better than a custom-made piece, designed and hand-crafted especially for you, by you. Whether itʼs jewellery, clothing, homeware, art or quilts – the Craft and Sewing Show has everything you need to make your own unique and stylish pieces.

An eclectic mix of people are discovering the potential of crafting. Cool, cunning and creative one-offs can all be born from a great craft session. Bits and pieces from around the house can be recycled into a work of art, simple sewing skills can help you stitch up a new outfit, old junk can be turned into a distinct piece of retro-style jewellery; and donʼt forget the underrated gift of a homemade card.

The Craft and Sewing Show has hands-on sessions to help you learn new crafting techniques, stalls full of craft supplies, Make & Take sessions and FREE seminars from the experts that will have you creating masterpieces.

Plus, a dazzling ʻBeneath the Southern Skyʼ themed quilting display will be on show for all to enjoy. Art, shopping, workshops and free seminars are all patched together in this one fantastic event.
