Bathurst will celebrate its rich history, paying homage to the trades and traditions that have helped shape the region, at the return of the annual Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail in April 2025 at the iconic Bathurst Showground.

Rare and lost trades and crafts, including Basketry, will be showcased over the weekend at Australia’s oldest inland European settlement. Traditional Aboriginal tool and weapon making, blacksmithing, saddlery, dry stone walling, whip cracking and making, glass artistry, lace making, tapestry, embroidery, carpentry and joinery, coopering, knife making and violin making are among many unique talents to be demonstrated by local and guest artisans.
