Finders Keepers Craft Show

10:00am – 3:00pm
The show borrows the concept from the hugely popular trunk shows in Europe. These in turn are a modern take on the travelling artisans of old who would go from town to town, showing off their wares in the trunks they used to carry them. In a nod to those bygone days, our vendors display their goods in vintage suitcases, trunks or toolboxes.
Being a smaller, boutique show, we are also the perfect venue for newcomers to dip their toes into the craft show scene, challenging seasoned vendors to get creative with their displays as well as providing the perfect venue to launch a new line or product.
