P2P Craftshows in 2023

10 January 2023 By Michelle Brown

What an amazing year we have had with six in-person shows plus one online show! THANK YOU for continuing to be part of our crafting community! YOU are a central part of our craft events and we really appreciate your support!

From Picture to Page Papercraft Shows for 2023:

Northern Show – 25 & 26 February 2023
Makers, Arts & Crafts @ Train & Hobby show – 11, 12 & 13 March 2023
Bendigo Show – 18 & 19 March 2023
Pakenham Show – 20 & 21 May 2023
Western Show – 22 & 23 July 2023
Sandown Show – 13, 14 & 15 October 2023
Peninsula Show – To be confirmed

The Bendigo, Pakenham, Sandown and Peninsula shows are at the same venues and weekends we are used to over the last few years (with Peninsula dates to be confirmed.)

The Northern show will be held at Plenty Ranges Arts & Convention Centre in South Morang; this has been in the planning stages since before COVID. The venue is wonderful with all ability access, air conditioning, catering and free car parking!

The Western show will move from Geelong to Werribee, at the Encore Events Centre in Hoppers Crossing, and be held on the same weekend as our previous Geelong shows. As much as we loved our Geelong venue, we had outgrown it and needed to find a venue with better access – the Encore Events Centre definitely promises to fulfill all of our needs! It also has all ability access, air conditioning, catering and free car parking!

AND we have been invited to curate the Makers, Arts and Crafts section of the Train & Hobby show at the Sandown Raceway – 11, 12 & 13 March. There will be something there for the whole family! Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Ticket Pricing for 2023

Throughout 2022 we have held our ticket prices steady and absorbed as much of the increases as possible. There is a small increase to ticket prices for 2023.

Regional shows (Northern, Bendigo, Western & Peninsula); tickets $15
(discount entry $13) and two day passes $22
Pakenham & Sandown shows; tickets $18
(discount entry $16), two day passes $25
(and for Sandown, three day passes $28)
We will continue our policy of partners and children under 16 with free entry.

Keeping in touch

While we have finished our craft shows for 2022, we will continue with our weekly update videos (on Facebook and YouTube) plus the Papercraft Posse facebook group is there to share your creative triumphs, ask questions and continue to support your fellow crafters. And I am sure Michelle and Jenni will come up with lots of other things that we will be eager to share!
