Crafternoon Returns: A Standout Day at Hotel Brunswick

This March, Hotel Brunswick brought its community together once again for the return of Crafternoon – A beer festival created by the Bruns team that celebrates great beer, the local Brunswick Heads community, and the kind of experience that defines extraordinary hospitality. 

The event started as a bold idea from Venue Manager Andrew McWhirter and Operations & Events Manager David Ryan and has grown into a community favourite. This year’s event featured 16 breweries, food stalls, and live music across two stages, with more than 1,500 people flowing through the venue throughout the day. 

After months of planning, the event was a full team effort, with key support from Beverage Manager Nikita and Entertainment Lead Abbey, helping create an amazing day for everyone involved. From concept to execution, it’s a great example of what’s possible when our teams back a great idea and bring it to life with care and creativity. 

A big shoutout to our beer partners, including 4 Pines, Balter, Mountain Culture, and many more, for helping make it all happen. We’re already looking forward to the next one.
