Wreckfest Rare Trades Festival – Fun for the Whole Family!

November 3 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm AEDT

Bring the whole family to the Wreckfest Rare Trades Festival at Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village! Step back in time to cobblestone streets and historic buildings, where hands-on crafts, live music, and family-friendly fun await.

Explore Traditions Together:
Watch in wonder as artisans showcase rare trades like knife making, barrel crafting, rope weaving, and leatherwork. Kids will love watching hand shearing demonstrations, spinning wool, and smelling the rich scents of handmade soaps. There’s even a chance to marvel at the creativity of a scoreboard plaque maker and admire laser-cut fire pits.

Family Activities and Tasty Treats:
Take a break from exploring with a delightful Devonshire Tea – freshly baked scones, jam, and cream that will delight both little and big taste buds. Enjoy captivating shipwreck survivor tales, bringing Warrnambool’s maritime history to life in a way that’s sure to spark your kids’ imaginations.

Entertainment for All Ages:
The fun doesn’t stop there! Watch live cane fishing rod demonstrations, wander through the Traders and Food Vans for BBQ treats, donuts, and even locally made cheese and honey – perfect for a family picnic. Parents can sample refreshing local brews, ciders, and wines while the kids enjoy singing along to nursery rhymes and magical moments designed just for them.

Live Music & Exciting Performances:
Get ready for toe-tapping performances by Flo Lindeman and the Tin Shed Singers. Feel the excitement as the 80-pound cannon thunders through the air, and if you’re feeling curious, delve into the mystical world of tarot or palm reading.

Wreckfest is packed with history, adventure, and activities for all ages, the perfect day out for families looking to make unforgettable memories.
