The Burdekin Craft Spectacular is set to brighten up the Burdekin Memorial Hall for another year with tickets now available. The hall will come alive to showcase the amazing talents of both residents of the Burdekin and surrounding regions from 9am to 2pm on Saturday May 4.
With less than a month to go before the vibrant event returns to the Burdekin, Judy Berryman, along with the rest of the event organizers, have been busily preparing the stalls and additional showcases.
“We’re all very excited, and it’s all come together very well this year,” expressed Judy.
“The hall has been fully booked as far as stalls go and we’re all well on track, well organized, and can’t wait for the community to enjoy this year’s event!”
As well as an extraordinary collection of unique stalls, the day will provide an inclusive children’s treasure hunt, and a handmade Mother’s Day card or gift competition to be submitted on Friday 3 May to raise money for the Burdekin School Chaplains.
Throughout the event, live demonstrations will be on show to further showcase amazing talents and encourage creativity! The community can expect Paula Matthews to host Wire Wrapped Beaded Bracelets, Josephine Edgerton to host Diamond Art Sealing, Janell Rutland to host Fun to Sew and English Paper Piecing, and Shelia Samu-Doig to host Macrame Earrings.
The event will additionally host a decadent cake stall as well as offer beautiful food both in the dining hall and throughout the event using the renowned high tea trolley.
“Our dining room is always set up beautifully and we offer a delicious range of home baked food for morning tea and lunch as well as some special treats available from the High Tea Trolley which roams around the dining room all day,” explained Judy.
With the event running just a week before Mother’s Day, there’s no better time to acquire a gorgeous and unique gift handmade by local and travelling artists.
The event entails a $5 entry fee with discounts and morning tea offered to group bookings of 10 or more attendees, and 2024’s Burdekin Craft Spectacular stands as an unmissable event for the entire family to enjoy as children under 12 are granted free entry.
The community is asked to organize group bookings in advance and to email Judy at burdekincraftspectacular@gmail.com for all ticketing and general enquiries.
