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.

The Theme for 2026 is “The Great Escape” centered around three elements – Create your Escape, Discover your Passion and Freedom without Limits. The theme celebrates imagination, innovation, and the joy of immersing yourself in doing what you love most – your hobbies. From hands-on workshops to inspiring showcases, Hobby-X is your chance to explore new passions, meet fellow creatives and unleash your inner maker.

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.
