The Craftmasters' Festival of Heritage Crafts

Learn craft skills that are no longer a part of daily life – at Okains Bay Museum this Labour Weekend.

Join us for a weekend of practical workshops learning from skilled craftspeople, using traditional techniques and heritage equipment to bake, print and forge. Workshops include traditional printing, blacksmithing and colonial bread baking.

Pre-purchase tickets online to as many workshops as you wish over the course of the weekend.

Gather together a family or friend group to attend and stay locally for the weekend.

The museum will also be open to visitors (standard entry prices apply), and accommodation is available in the Bay at the Museum bach,  Grandstand Bunkroom, Lyndhurst Farm Stay and Okains Bay Camping Ground.

Food will be available from the museum tea room. Food offerings will focus on heritage and traditional Māori and Colonial foods.

Eftpos is available on site.
