Get handmade gifts at Woodcrafters Xmas sale

THE HERVEY Bay Woodcrafts Club is set to kick off the festive season early this year, hosting its much-loved annual Christmas sale over the weekend of Saturday 22 November and Sunday 23 November, 2025.

The event promises a wide array of handcrafted items, plants, and unique gift options for the community to enjoy.

Each week, the club’s dedicated group of woodworking enthusiasts gather at their Torquay shed, honing their skills and sharing their passion for the craft.

The facility, which has grown significantly in recent years, provides members with access to an impressive range of woodworking equipment.

This includes scroll saws, bobbin sanders, and advanced woodturning machinery, all supported by a ducted extractor system to maintain a clean and safe working environment.

Club members often bring their own timber to create a variety of projects, while additional materials are supplied through donations.

These resources are transformed into one-of-a-kind wooden pieces, from practical household items to decorative creations.

Many of the completed items are then generously donated back to the club to be offered at the annual Christmas sale, helping raise funds to support the ongoing activities of the group.

The sale itself has become a highlight of the local community calendar, attracting residents and visitors alike who are searching for distinctive handmade gifts and seasonal décor.

Shoppers can expect to find an assortment of wooden crafts alongside a selection of plants and other items suitable for gifting.

The event provides an opportunity for the public to support local artisans while finding unique, quality products that cannot be found elsewhere.

Located at 187 Bideford Street, Torquay, next to the Hervey Bay Tennis Courts, the Hervey Bay Woodcrafts Club will open its doors for the Christmas sale from 7am to 1pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

With a combination of skill, creativity, and community spirit, the sale promises to be an enjoyable weekend for families, craft enthusiasts, and anyone looking to start their festive shopping early.

The annual event not only showcases the talents of local woodworkers but also reflects the club’s ongoing commitment to fostering craftsmanship, creativity, and community connection throughout the Fraser Coast region.
