Learn to transform everyday objects and preloved items into things of wonder thanks to an all-star team of local makers, repairers and creative up-cyclers hosted by mischief makers Maison Foo. Join Val & Friends in the Community Living Room for brews, bants and preloved fashion tips as they bring comedy and community connection to the Market Place alongside a good dose of cosy community stories in the listening lounge.
Be part of the mayhem as intrepid inventor Matt Pang risks nerve wracking failure to bring you one perfect chain reaction as part of his show Thingmabob. Blending circus, invention and humour, this is not to be missed!
