About this Event

Join us for an exciting day of shopping and creativity! This event was first held in 2022 as a way to help crafters sell to crafters. If you are like me, you have a tendency to buy extra supplies for each project "just in case;" you buy something because you like it (though have no use for yet); you hate seeing perfectly good craft supplies go to waste; you have inherited or been gifted craft supplies; all the while you are trying very hard not to spend all your money on your hobbies. This event brings together crafters to give unused or wanted craft supplies, materials, resources, and tools another chance at being crafted into something awesome. Whether you are looking to sell your supplies or add to your stash, this is an event for YOU!

It’s almost here!

The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations. Don’t miss out!

Event Details

Location Details

This event is located in the Concession Building at the Ancaster Fairgrounds. The Concession Building is located BEHIND the main building (Marritt Hall). There is parking available right next to the Concession Building and there is a very large lot in front of Marritt Hall for any overflow.


Directions: Set THIS LINK as you destination.

Concession Stand

This year's "menu" is TBA.

Last year we had coffee, tea, muffins, cookies, granola bars, juice, and other snacks.

Food Truck!

Wheels on the Bus Donuts is back! They will be set up just outside our main entrance for all your Sunday donut needs.


You can check them out before our event through their website or on social media (@wheelsonthebusdonuts).

The "Chill Zone"

This is an area at the event for people to sit at a table and take a break from shopping, enjoy a coffee, chat with friends, or simply sit by yourself. This area was inspired mainly by my dad and my brother who have never had as much of an interest or the stamina for big craft shopping events. If either of them were there, they would always try to find somewhere to sit or a wall to lean against. Not many shopping events have an area to sit down and wait. So this is just as much for the children, spouses, parents, and friends who get "dragged along" to the event and "just want to sit down" as it is for our shoppers.

ADD to Your Stash

SELL Your Stash

Help to Reduce waste, Reuse tools and resources, & Recycle materials and the inspiration they bring!

Sell your unused and unwanted craft supplies by registering for a booth space or a table at this event. If you have been inspired by a new craft and need to make room in your stash, or you have lost interest in a craft but are still storing all of your supplies, this event is for you! Crafters know the value of their supplies and it is a waste of both material and money to simply through good supplies in the garbage. Sell your stash to people who will both appreciate its worth and put it to good use.

The Community Stash

Crafting for all!

What, Why, & How?

The Community Stash is an initiative to help support crafting in the Ancaster/Hamilton area. This was started in an attempt to bring more opportunities to people of all ages to learn and experience joy from crafting. How it works is all the money raised through this initiative will be used to buy supplies for programs that need them. At this event, there is a group of tables called the Community Tables and they sell donated craft supplies to raise money for this initiative.


If you run or know of a program in need of supplies, please reach out to us via email (ancasterstashswap@gmail.com).
