Hobby-X Johannesburg 2025

Please make the stands cheaper for more exhibitors to participate. I would like to learn about new hobbies

We were told to get covid tests which cost R450 foe 3 of us. No one even asked for it. It was an expensive day with very poor attractions for hobbiests. Seems to be themain attraction was food stores. I have waited for 2 years and was so excited to go but the quality is no where near that of 2 years ago and previous. Very disappointed and I shall no longer attend hobby x. Even 2 suppliers that we were considering spending R20000 with, had zero stock and refused give show discount for preorders. 2 of the stands we did buy from we subsequently went on their site only to find the show price more expensive than their normal price and freebies were actually charged for.

Hobby-X is and always has been exciting with lots of hobbies to show. I found that this year not too many hobby stalls were exhibiting but rather more home product exhibitors. After all it is HOBBY-X. In the past I would spend a large part of the day browsing and purchasing. This time round it took me 2 hours and I was through. I nevertheless enjoyed it, thanks

Nice meeting with new Exhibitors and new products

I noticed that there were hardly any duplications of crafts. Nice variety and especially happy to have new exhibitors there eg. reptiles and dot art. Nice variety of food too, venue kept clean. Nice experience and very enjoyable. Thanks to the organisers
