Arts and Crafts Destash Day
Destash Day Destash Day is a monthly get-together for makers, creatives, collectors, and crafty treasure hunters to share the love by selling, swapping, or giving away art and craft supplies.
You’re welcome to book a table on your own or share with a friend. It’s a great chance to clear out those unused fabrics, art materials, tools, and creative bits and pieces — and help them find a new home with someone who’ll love them.
A quick heads-up:
To make Destash Day worthwhile and enjoyable for everyone, we need a minimum of 10 booked tables for the day to go ahead. If we don’t reach this number, we’ll be in touch ahead of time and offer you a refund or the option to transfer your booking to another Destash Day.
Destash Day is held on the second Saturday of each month, with our first event on Saturday 14 February.
Start de-stashing – we can’t wait to see what treasures you’ll bring!

Date: Monthly 14 February & 14 March
Time: 10am to 12
Cost: Free entry $5 to book a table (see the link or use the QR Code)
