Overview/Description Page
Hobby-X was launched in 1998 to enormous acclaim!
It attracts many thousands of visitors who have a passion for crafts and hobbies and who are hungry for ideas and information on new products.
Visitors come from all over South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, Swaziland and further afield from the USA, UK and Europe - all looking for materials, equipment, supplies, ideas and techniques to take back with them.
In March 2009 Hobby-X Johannesburg celebrated its 12th anniversary.
Although all involved were prepared for a downturn in attendance and sales due to the challenging economic times, the reality proved surprisingly different. Not only were the attendance figures up, but many exhibitors reported record sales – confirming our long held belief that in tough times crafters turn to their hobbies as a way of supplementing their income. We have also learnt anew that hobbies are a vital contributor to physical and emotional wellbeing, and more than ever in tough times people need to find ways to de-stress.
We are looking forward to Hobby-X 2010, which will be held at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg from 4 to 7 March.
