How To Workshops

For those of you who love a DIY project, but are not sure where to begin, the HOW TO WORKSHOPS, proudly brought to you by Mitre 10, will definitely get you started.

Our experts will treat visitors to a variety of (mostly) 20-25 minute hands-on demonstrations, covering a huge variety of home projects.

Sessions range from hanging wallpaper, hydroponics at home, harvesting rainwater, brewing your own cider & beer, Charcuterie boards, the art of Kintsugi (ceramic/pottery repair) and so much more!

Stan & Liv from Mitre 10 will be presenting daily 40-45 min sessions on ‘Kitchens and Bathrooms Made Easy’. Plus, as part of our Family Fun Day on the Sunday, Stan will be hosting some special ‘Easy As Kids Workshops‘!
