From Picture to Page and Beyond Sandown show is our pre-eminent show and is held on the second weekend in October.
October is the time of year we start thinking about our Christmas cards and gift making. And the Sandown show is just what you need to get that creativity flowing! We delight in having a show just for paper crafters, scrapbookers and mixed media artists that allows our specialty traders to focus on the tools and techniques you need to see the latest products and watch demonstrations from our talented local crafters and artists.
Sandown Show Update
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to proceed with the October 2026 From Picture to Page show at Sandown.
Over many wonderful years, Sandown has been home to countless creative memories, friendships, classes, demonstrations, and shopping adventures. We are incredibly grateful to the retailers, teachers, and crafters who have supported the show and helped build such a special community.
Like many events, we have faced increasing venue and operating costs alongside changing attendance and retail conditions. As a result, we believe it is the right time to step back from the Sandown event.
While we know this news will be disappointing, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been part of the From Picture to Page journey. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and support have meant the world to us.
Thank you for being part of our story.
