Lost Trades Fair 2024 is this long weekend. Saturday March 9th and Sunday March 10th at the Bendigo Racecourse.

The Lost Trades Fair is an inspiring event that brings together more than 100 artisans dedicated to showcasing their expertise in traditional hand skills and fine craftsmanship. This gathering serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving these age-old crafts and passing them down to younger generations. By nurturing and promoting these artisanal traditions, the event helps ensure that invaluable skills and cultural heritage are not lost to time. It offers a platform for master craftsmen and women to share their knowledge and passion, sparking interest and appreciation among newer generations who may otherwise be disconnected from these intricate and meaningful practices. Encouraging the continuation of these traditional crafts is fundamental in maintaining a diverse and rich tapestry of human creativity and ingenuity for years to come.
