Sydney Craft Beer and Cider Fair – 27th July
The Sydney Craft Beer & Cider Fair is really for those who take their drink very seriously. The fair will give you the chance to taste quality brew and talk to the people who produce it. You get four hours to fully appreciate the finest in the land. As all beer lovers know, “the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” 🙂

Professional Bull Riders – Sydney Origin, ICC Sydney Theatre – Saturday, June 1st 2019
This no rodeo, this is three hours of bull. 🙂 This is your opportunity to get up close and personal. I can see this could be hard to watch. Gripping yet scary. Not everyone’s cup of tea perhaps but it certainly won’t be dull.

Bare Island
The Bare Island was the site of a state of the art military defence complex when it was built in the late 1800s. Sydney was a very different place back then.

Winter Magic Festival – Katoomba – 22nd June 2019
It’s back! After a little rest Katoomba’s winter will once more be magical.
Sadly there will be no Winter Magic in Katoomba this year but next it will back next year no doubt bigger, better and more magical than ever.
There is one thing to know about Katoomba in June, it isn’t warm so rug up. Katoomba’s Winter Festival magically banishes traffic from its main street and replaces it with an army of artists, musicians, dancers, drummers and choirs. The Winter Magic Grand Parade is worth seeing and there will be plenty of market stalls and people to look at, as everybody is encouraged to dress in costume. Make it a warm one.

Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair – 19th June to Sunday, 23rd June 2019
The Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair will have you in stitches! 🙂 The fair is tuned towards those with a thirst for knowledge along with seasoned creatives in search of new ideas and inspiration. If you can’t see yourself stamping, scrap booking, knitting, crocheting, card making, embroidering, sewing, quilting, or jewellery-making from here, then you’ll never make it anywhere. It’s up to you, at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. 🙂
