Need to know before you go

Tickets will be available at the gate, but we recommend buying them online in advance to skip the queues on the day of the Fair. Arrive early to beat the crowds and enjoy a leisurely start to your day.

Regrettably, no dogs are allowed at the event. Street parking is extremely limited as the event takes place at a heritage estate, so please consider using Uber or Bolt. This is a cashless shopping experience, there will be no ATM machines on site.

More about the organisation behind the Fair

Proceeds of all entrance and raffle tickets go towards the valuable work of the Order of St John, a non-profit organisation that works to further their eye care, first aid, youth development and community health care projects across the country.

Previous fairs have allowed the Order of St John to provide healthcare training in numerous under-resourced rural communities in partnership with the well-known Phelophepa Train. The support also contributed to the refurbishment of a mobile eye clinic to reach communities that do not have access to affordable, professional eye care services.
