For those who make crafts and those who just love to buy them - DUNKLEYS GREAT NEW ZEALAND CRAFT SHOWS are New Zealand’s most popular and exciting indoor craft events. Held at indoor locations throughout the country from Whangarei to Invercargill, they give craft-lovers everywhere the chance to meet directly with our nation’s most talented craftspeople, artists, artisans and designers.

Celebrating thirty years in 2012, each Dunkleys show is built on a foundation of great crafts, handmade in New Zealand. “Meet the maker and buy direct”  is the Dunkley philosophy, that is as true today as it was in 1983 when the business was founded.

Each show features hundreds of the nation’s most talented artisans, who have assembled for 3 days to exhibit and sell their wares. Complimenting the finished crafts are hobby and craft supplies for those who want to make their own. The Dunkleys Craft Show experience is enhanced with dozens of specialty gourmet foods available for sampling and purchasing.

Thirty years on, Dunkleys has held over 384 shows, and attracted more than 4 million visitors, with craft sales in excess of $100 million.
