What Our Attendees Say...

"This was my first attendance at one of the Crop and Craft weekends.
What a fabulously run weekend. So much space, so much time and what
lovely company we had. Will definitely be back . Thank you Julie for
such a lovely time."

"Great weekend. I love these weekends of craft and friendship"
- Janene S
Our Venue
Our regular events are held at 1st Morwell Scout Hall which has plenty of space for you and your supplies!
"I have been to several of the three day retreats and they are fabulous!
Large table, pop up shop all weekend for retreaters, kitchenette if you
want to self cater, close to cafes and takeaway if you don’t, and most
important of all, lovely, friendly welcoming people to craft with!

Definitely worth the drive from Melbourne! Can’t wait until I get to my
next one once work settles down! And looking forward to the Handmade
Craftery Retreat in June- it’s going to be epic!"
