Handmade, heritage & vintage at the Port Festival

Vitalstatistix’s Community Fair is back, this time for two exciting days as part of the Port Festival, 10 -11 October.

This is Vitalstatistix’s annual Community Fair and a chance to step inside our home, the heritage-listed Waterside Workers Hall. Drop in throughout the day to browse our vintage, craft and book stalls; sample some delicious local baked goods; catch a demonstration; and buy a raffle ticket for the chance to win one of many fantastic prizes donated by wonderful supporters including restaurant, theatre and cinema vouchers.
