EVENT TICKET PRE-SALE COMING SOON!

The perfect excuse to get together.
Join us for what promises to be an exciting weekend
 of inspired exchanges of knowledge, stories, tips and tricks from our network of enthusiastic creatives, makers and experts.


As a small independent local company, we're pre-selling tickets to this year's summer event through a crowdfunded campaign.
It's surprising how much time, expertise and finance go into running a well-organised and exciting event! Our costs will be reflected in the target, and tickets and rewards offered as a way of pre-selling in advance.
We're doing this to ensure there is demand for the event before committing our time and energy.
Quite simply, if our
 ticket pre-sale crowdfund goes well, we go ahead!

Please register your interest on our ticket pre-sale Eventbrite page and you'll be the first to hear when our Crowdfund goes LIVE!
