All 300 places for the Hui have been filled two months prior to the event. Members of the public and other weavers and artists are encouraged to attend the Open Day on Saturday 20 October between 10.00am and 3.00pm. At the Open Day, people will have the opportunity to view and purchase items of weaving as well as other local products on offer. Entrance fee is by gold coin.
