Seasons of New England Expo

Event Date: 28 March - 29 March 2026.

The Seasons of New England Creators, Makers and Producers Expo is doubling up for 2026, connecting you with over 160 makers, creators and producers from right across the New England, across two very different days.

If it's made in New England, this is the place to find it! The Expo brings together over 160 businesses from right across New England for just one weekend, to give you a taste of what the region has to offer and entice you to return again and again to keep discovering it all.

With the New England area increasingly becoming known as a gourmet's paradise, the Seasons Expo is fully licensed and brings together the region's wineries, distilleries and breweries as well as some very talented growers and foodies.

With an already established reputation for the Arts, particularly in the event's hometown Uralla, the event is filled with talented makers and creators of beautiful products to discover for the home, garden and the family.

Musicians from across the region also come together to create a great atmosphere. So much more than a market, the Seasons Expo is a great way to discover and celebrate the little towns and the people that make them amazing.

QUEENSLAND

Chillagoe - QLD RVFT

Chillagoe is located 141 kilometres west of Mareeba and 205 kilometres west of Cairns and is one of the most interesting and unusual places in northern Queensland. Chillagoe offers visitors the rare combination of a relic copper mine, historic town attractions, limestone caves and Aboriginal rock paintings. If the mining history of Chillagoe is what brought you out, be sure to head for the museum. Wander through informative sites and don't forget to include the town cemetery in your walks. Keep in mind that mining is not the only option in town and it would be a shame to leave without sampling some of the other incredible Chillagoe attractions! Chief amongst them are the substantial systems of limestone caves at the Chillagoe-Montana National Park, located approximately one kilometre from town. There are over 560 known caves in the area, and some feature spectacular formations of stalactites and stalagmites. From the caves there's a walking track to the nearby Balancing Rock formation and some Aboriginal rock art, or you may prefer to walk the nine kilometre return track to Royal Arch Bluff, looking for wallabies and birds. If you head west out of town for 14 kilometres you'll find The Archways, another stunning limestone feature. Chillagoe also contains an observatory, and offers chances to explore for fossils, plus every year in May the Great Wheelbarrow Race finishes in the town and is an iconic event well worth a look.The best source of up to date information about tours, sites and walks is the Chillagoe Hub Visitor Information Centre, located on Queen Street.Tourist/Visitor Centre Chillagoe VIC, 21-23 Queen St, Chillagoe QLDPh: 07 4094 7111chillagoehubinfo@bigpond.comwww.chillagoehub.com.auCasual Parking Queen, Cathedral St & Towers StShort Term Parking Chillagoe Observatory & Eco Lodge1 Hospital Ave$10pppn unpoweredDump Point Rodeo Grounds, Frew StPotable Water See General store & VIC for locationsHospital 21 Hospital Rd, Ph: 07 4094 7500Dentist Chillagoe HospitalPharmacy Chillagoe General Store, 11 Queen St, Ph: 07 4094 7100
