Don’t miss Wreckfest this Sunday
WARRNAMBOOL’S Flagstaff Hill will come alive with all the colour, excitement, fun and activities of the early 1800s during this weekend’s second annual ‘Wreckfest’ celebration.
To be held this Sunday, this unique festival will take visitors back 150 years for an emersion into the lives of our forefathers – and offer a glimpse of the way they lived.
There will be working displays, old trades, cane fishing rod demonstrations and high tea in the lovely tea rooms of Flagstaff Hill.
This year’s festival will also see an array of skilled artisans including knife makers, wool spinners, hand shearing, laser-cut fire pits, screen printing and glass art.
Visitors will be able to enjoy calligraphy lessons and tarot reading sessions while live music, family entertainment and face painting will highlight the fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
And for those who can’t make it to Flagstaff Hill on the Sunday, there’s plenty of activities also planned for the day prior – Saturday, November 2.
A silk scarf art workshop will run from 10am, a cider crafting workshop with Mike Juleff will also start at 10am and at 11am and 3.30pm Donna the Tarot Witch Lady will host palm readings.
Wreckfest will run from 10am until 4pm on Sunday.
