Discover the Creativity, Community, and Energy of
Hobby-X

Theme for 2026:

Hobby-X is Southern Africa's premier exhibition for materials, equipment, and supplies across a wide range of hobbies and crafts. Each year, thousands of visitors from South Africa, neighbouring countries, and even international visitors attend the show.

Hobby-X is a hobby, craft, and art supply expo, that brings together a vibrant community of passionate creators, makers, and hobby enthusiasts. For over 28 years, this event has been the ultimate destination for exploring the latest trends, tools, and techniques across a wide spectrum of creative pursuits. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or simply seeking a fresh creative outlet, Hobby-X promises an experience like no other.

At Hobby-X, personal expression takes centre stage, inspiring everyone to tap into their inner artist and transform the ever-evolving urban landscape into a foundation for creativity.

But that’s not all! Hobby-X opens the doors to the Pit Lane. This hands-on space is a haven for anyone who loves action-packed hobbies and hands-on exploration. Think remote-controlled cars, drones, woodworking, metalworking, classic cars, beer brewing, gaming simulators, and more. Whether you’re learning to craft the perfect pool shot, mastering knife-making techniques, or sipping on craft brews while talking classic cars, the Pit Lane is all about fun and discovery.

Join us at the Kyalami Grand Prix circuit to get your creative juices flowing. It’s not just an expo, it’s an artistic revolution.

For those eager to sharpen their skills or try something new, the Hobby-X practical workshops are a must-attend highlight. This year, we are pleased to announce The Great PNA Create Workshops. Led by experts, these workshops offer hands-on opportunities to explore a variety of crafts and hobbies, from painting and DIY projects to woodworking and urban art techniques.
