Recap of the 2023 Pakenham Show

By

The Pakenham Craft Show was abuzz with excitement!

Our recent show in Pakenham show was a huge success, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the excitement in the air! It was fantastic to hear the crafter chatter as they discovered new craft supplies, watched the amazing demonstration and got hands-on with the huge range of classes and Make & Takes on offer. The Cardinia Cultural Centre was the perfect venue for our indoors craft show and the weather was mostly kind to us!

Please enjoy some snapshots of the weekend.

Our talented retailers provided many mini-classes, make-and-takes, and demonstrations, that kept crafters engaged and having a great time. Attendees left with their shopping bags full of fantastic finds.

We want to extend our sincerest thanks to the crafters and retailers who made this event possible. Without your support, there would be no show.

We hope you had a very crafty day!

All the crafters had a wonderful time and many spent the day or days doing Mini Classes, Make and Takes and watching demonstrations which our very talented retailers supplied. Lots of bags were filled to the brim with their crafty purchases. Also, there was heaps of yummy food.

Thank you to all who attended, both crafters and retailers without whom there would be no show.

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.
