Previously known as Hahndorf. Handmade. Handcrafted. Handpicked, this popular and successful festival has been renamed Hahndorf Immersed, rebranded and amplified to provide even more ways to engage meaningfully with one of South Australia’s living gems.
More than 40 artisan and intimate experiences and events will be part of the 2024 award winning Hahndorf festival over the month of September. Having won the Best Regional Event in the 2021 South Australian Tourism Awards, Hahndorf Immersed showcases local artisans who are abundant in and around the main street of the historic South Australian village.
The festival will celebrate unique trades such as leather smiths, candle makers, artisan cheese and chocolate, journalling floristry and art. Event goers of all ages and tastes can expect brand new events to join last year’s favourites, all of which fall under one or more of the six event categories:
- food & drink
- art & craft
- family fun
- fashion & beauty
- history & story-telling
- workshops & masterclasses
The festival starts on Sunday 1 September and runs for the entire month with both midweek and weekend experiences on offer.
New events on the program include:
- A sweet pretzel decorating class at The Haus
- Learning the art of Sabrage and making a spring bouquet with brunch and bubbles at Sidewood Estate
- Crafting your own clay masterpiece at the Hahndorf Academy’s pottery making class
- A private, educational and personal opal cutting demonstration with your own polished stone valued at $150 to take home at the end of the session at the Opal and Gemstone Studio
- Learning and experimenting with calligraphy and wax stamping at Walden’s General Store with their leather journal binding workshop
- Creating and customising your very own roll-on perfume oil at 3 Wishes
These new events join festival favourites including:
- Crafting the perfect accessory for your furry friend at a personalised dog collar workshop at the Handorf Leathersmith
- An afternoon at The Cedars enjoying tea, coffee, sparkling wine and delicious, gourmet home-baked sweet treats
- A couples escape with wine tastings, nibbles and a historic tour through Somerled Wines
