Step into a world where craftsmanship, creativity and centuries-old skills come alive at the Lost Trades Fair.

Returning to the spectacular Hanging Rock Reserve in the Macedon Ranges on 20–21 March 2027.

Less than an hour from Melbourne, this remarkable event brings together more than 150 of Australia’s finest artisans alongside international guest makers, celebrating traditional trades, handmade skills and the enduring value of creating something built to last. Watch blacksmiths shape glowing steel, wheelwrights fit red-hot tyres, weavers work intricate textiles, woodworkers carve by hand, and skilled makers share techniques passed down through generations.

Your ticket includes entry to Hanging Rock, allowing you to combine this globally renowned artisan festival with time exploring one of Victoria’s most iconic natural landmarks. Wander between demonstrations, hear the stories behind the crafts, enjoy local food, discover beautiful handmade objects, then take a walk to the summit or relax beneath the towering gum trees with a picnic.

Whether you’re passionate about traditional craftsmanship, searching for a unique weekend escape, or simply curious to see extraordinary skills in action, the Lost Trades Fair offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of every age.
