March 20th, 2025Scones, craft and country hospitality: celebrating a CWA classic

The Lancefield Mechanics Institute is getting set to host a special CWA exhibition next month.

Organisers say “an absolute celebration of creativity” is in store, along with a chance to catch up with friends and discuss favourites over a cuppa and a scone.

The CWA Central Highlands Group Creative Arts Exhibition will bring together CWA members from all over the region for the event taking place over April 12-13.

The Lancefield Mechanics Institute hall will be brimming with a wonderful display of art, craft, preserves and home cooking, organisers say ahead of next month’s exhibition.

“We’re offering home-made lunch or a cuppa and a scone in our cosy cafe area. While you’re visiting, take the chance to stock up on bargain craft supplies at our popular craft de-stash stall, and don’t forget to take home some preserves that have been lovingly made by our members.

“Join us for a weekend filled with creativity, community, and chat. Spread the word and invite your friends and family along for a lovely Autumn day out.”
