Hobby-X Postponed to May 2022
The premier event for the hobby, craft, and art supply sectors in South Africa, Hobby-X was scheduled to take place in November 2021 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre.
Due to Covid-19 and given the nature of Hobby-X being a large-scale interactive event, Messe Frankfurt South Africa has decided to postpone the 2021 event. The event will now take place from 5-8 May 2022 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre.
In 2022, Hobby-X celebrates 24 years of the wider world of hobbies and visitors will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of products on display by distributors, manufacturers, and agents of materials, supplies & equipment for crafts, art, hobbies, and leisure activities.
“A wise decision has been made by the Hobby-X team to postpone this year’s event to 2022. Given the current situation we are in, I am of the opinion that people are not yet ready to engage in a hands-on and interactive environment such as Hobby-X,” says Lars Smith, Director of Faber-Castell.
“A sensible call has been made to move the event out. Cricut is launching a range of our products in South Africa. We believe that Hobby-X is the perfect platform to introduce our brand to the market,” says a new exhibitor to Hobby-X, Martin Kruger, Head of Cricut Middle East and Africa.
Attracting thousands of visitors each year, consumers from all over South Africa visit Hobby-X to source materials, supplies, equipment, ideas, and techniques.
Be sure to save the date and join us at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre from 5-8 May 2022.
