The event has been held for the past two years at Club Taree, and as feedback from patrons has been how much they prefer the venue, the club will once again be the setting where keen crafters will converge.
All sites are already fully booked and there will be a huge variety of handicrafts to see. On both days there will be ongoing demonstrations, workshops, and plenty of goods and crafting supplies on display and for sale.
Craftathon is open on Saturday November 18 from 10am to 4pm and Sunday November 19 from 10am to 3pm. Entry is $5 for adults with entry for children under 16 free if they are accompanied by an adult.
