Kinetic grows partnership with Tasmanian Craft Fair to enhance visitor access

Kinetic is proud to announce an expanded partnership with the Tasmanian Craft Fair, providing dedicated bus services and enhanced transport solutions for the 2025 event.

The Tasmanian Craft Fair, now in its 45th year and recognised as the largest working craft fair in the Southern Hemisphere, will run from 31 October to 2 November in Deloraine. With more than 18,000 visitors expected and over 240 artisans exhibiting, this year's Fair promises to be bigger and more accessible than ever.

For the first time, Kinetic will provide dedicated bus services from Launceston to Deloraine, making the Fair more accessible to visitors across northern Tasmania. The company will also operate complimentary shuttle buses between Fair venues, ensuring visitors can easily explore the full event experience.

In 2024, Kinetic moved a record 22,361 passengers across the Fair venues. 

Kinetic General Manager (Tasmania) Andrew Grzinic said the company was excited to expand its long-standing support of this iconic Tasmanian event.

"The Tasmanian Craft Fair is a celebration of creativity, community and craftsmanship, and we're thrilled to help make it more accessible than ever," Mr Grzinic said.

"It's been a privilege for us to have watched the Fair grow over the years, and we're excited to be playing our part in making this year's event bigger and better than before.

"Our team is passionate about connecting people with the places and experiences they love, and we look forward to providing Fair visitors with an easy, sustainable way to explore everything the Fair has to offer."

This year's Fair features exciting new additions, including a main stage with live demonstrations and entertainment, plus an awe-inspiring sand sculpture by master sculptor Dennis Massoud.

The diverse program showcases traditional and contemporary craft across woodwork, ceramics, textiles, jewellery, musical instruments, garden design, and much more.

Tasmanian Craft Fair Director Michael Plunkett praised the expanded partnership with Kinetic.

"Kinetic has been a valued partner of the Fair for many years, and we're delighted to continue strengthening our partnership with them," Mr Plunkett said.

"Their enhanced services mean more people can get to the Fair easily and enjoy everything Deloraine has to offer without worrying about parking or transport. This aligns perfectly with our commitment to accessibility and sustainability."
