Get ready to have a wicked time as the Witches Fair lands in Bacchus Marsh for the first time.
Organiser Michelle Richards said the event is a journey of “magik” where guests can explore an eclectic mix of stalls, each presenting an assortment of mystical supplies, Tarot readers, physic Mediums and rare treasures.
“It’s always farmer’s markets that come to country towns all the time,” she said.
“Doing something like the Witches Fair, which is for the alternative, and curiosities products and crafts, smaller towns tend to be sat on those opportunities.
“That was always the aim. More of a minority product, but all-inclusive.
“It’s a lot of natural herbs and oils, and often a lot of entomology, like butterfly pinning.”
The Bacchus Marsh Witches Fair is free and open to all, but some activities on offer will need bookings made on the day.
“They’ll see a lot of crafts, a lot of handmade items, that’s for sure,” Ms Richards said.
“You can make appointments on the day with the actual tarot (readers), and psychics, as well.
“There’s a bit of everything for everyone.”
The Witches Fair first began in Lancefield, but Ms Richards said she fell in love with the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall when she opened a stall in a market held at the venue a couple of years ago.
“It’s a great venue. The location is perfect, as well,” she said.
“We took a drive there and met up with one of the committee members, and decided then and there we wanted to try doing a few witch fairs this year, and broaden the location.”
The Bacchus Marsh Witches Fair will be held on Sunday, March 16 at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall.
