    It's on again! Our fantastic Tasmanian Craft Fair event, spread over various fantastic venues, amounting to over 200 incredible stalls. There are even more great activities for the kids and rewarding shopping for the adults.

    Each year the picturesque township of Deloraine, just 30 minutes drive west of Launceston, buzzes with activity as the Tasmanian Craft Fair gets underway.

    The annual Tasmanian Craft Fair is Australia's largest working craft fair. The fair now attracts over 200 local and interstate craftspeople and over 30,000 visitors annually.

    The quality crafts which can be found on show and for sale over the four days are as diverse as woodcarvings, hand blown glassware, leather and metal work, pottery, lead lighting, embroidery, silver and goldsmiths, oil paintings and water-colours.

    Additional attractions include calligraphy, quilling, tatting, egg carving, spinning, silk screen painting, kite and kaleidoscope making, blacksmithing, wrought iron work, basket weaving, whip making and candle wicking.

    All stalls and working exhibits are under cover in various Deloraine venues and over the four days, visitors have a chance to explore the many venues throughout the town by hopping on and off the free buses that travel from venue to venue.
