The annual Werribee Craft Festival is back for the 44th year and organise are aiming for it to be bigger than ever.
Running between 5-9pm on Friday, November 8 and 9am-5pm on Saturday November 9 at the Encore Events Centre in Hoppers Crossing, everyone is invited to get crafty at the free event.
Over 70 stalls will be showcasing and selling a diverse range of handcrafts and homemade foods, including homewares, Christmas crafts, cakes, wine, jewellery, candles, toys and garden products to name a few.
The event will not be short of celebrity cameos, with Peppa Pig, Chase from Paw Patrol and, last but not least, Santa making an appearance.
In addition to spreading holiday cheer, Santa will also be posing for photos.
Any kids coming along will not have to fear boredom, as they will be able to engage in many fun handcraft activities and even get their faces painted.
Festival secretary Chris Mitchell said that “seeing all the regulars who wait with anticipation for the craft festival each year” was among the most exciting elements of the spectacle.
The festival is not just about crafts, it is about celebrating and giving back to the Wyndham community, with the majority of the stall holders and crafters calling the area home.
Werribee Girl Guides will be the lucky local group supported by the festival, keeping in line with a yearly tradition.
Cash and card alike will be catered to, with a cashless kiosk and ATM facilities on site, and parking is free.
