Thornhill Manor hobby fair celebrates craftsmanship
Thornhill Manor’s hobby fair transformed the village hall into a creative hub on August 1, featuring crafts, collectibles, and art from passionate residents eager to share and inspire the community.
What looked like a playground of dollhouses and model trains at Thornhill Manor’s hobby fair on August 1 was, in fact, a showcase of creativity and lifelong passions.
The village hall transformed into a miniature gallery as residents displayed the fruits of their hobbies, from intricate stained-glass pieces and delicate quilting to coin collections spanning the globe.

“It’s not just about showing off our hobbies,” said Jackie Scott, deputy village manager. “It’s about sharing knowledge, inspiring others and building connections.”
Twelve stalls featured an array of crafts and collections, including stamps, pottery, art and paintings, needlecraft, telescopes, and even fairytale houses.

Visitors were encouraged to explore, ask questions, and in some cases, purchase items on display.
The fair drew a strong response from the community. Due to the enthusiasm and residents who were unable to participate, Jackie said another fair is already in the works.
