Lighting of the Wickerman

08/06/2026

Some short videos from the weekend...Spiral Dance and the burning of the Wickerman..accompanied by Hot for Joe Morris Dancers, Dragon Mill and 3 or 4 hundred people.. The crepe stall stayed open until after 11.00pm, such was the demand!. Thankyou to Ali and her volunteers, Lowland Rogues, Fayre Geysers Mummers, Spiral Dance, Hot for Joe, Dragon Mill Fire Dancers, for a sensational night!... all under the Milky Way!

Fantastic news...but you can still buy tickets to the concert without the dinner option!

Breaking News!

That's right, if you've nabbed a feast ticket you are one of the lucky ones!

"But wait" I hear you cry "What about meeeee?"

(Que soundtrack)
com.au have helped out enormously today by sorting a whole new ticket category for us - fair plus concert. Those tickets are live right now!

will have you dancing your socks off, the Fayre Guiser Mummer's Players will keep you laughing..... and our fabulous food trucks will trade into the evening to keep you fed as well.

Never fear, there will be much merriment into the evening, capped off by the giant bonfire in all it's anthropomorphic glory!

After a year of disjointed distractions, including a recent extended trip to Ireland, I am now attempting to re-adjust back to some form of normality.
The video shows some of my latest ‘limited release’ genuine timber veneer inlayed lidded tankards. They are of my standard 500ml capacity version with an intricate, hand done, veneer inlay design cut into the lid.
Literally taking hours to do they are a ‘special’ offering and, obviously, not mass produced - hence, limited in numbers. It is not my initial intention to make these to particular tankards to orders, simply, to sell them when available while stocks last, in person at fairs. Starting price is $250 each at present.
I should be at the ‘Armour and Alchemy’ fair being held at Wirrina next weekend (Nov 1st & 2nd).
I will have a few of the Limited Release tankards available there - start saving!!
See you there.
Cheers Steve.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone at the at Gumeracha on the 4th & 5th of May.
It clearly appears that it is going to be bigger and better than last year so should be a great weekend.
Cheers Steve
