The original gypsies are back in town with many trinkets and treasures for all Tauranga locals.

For over quarter of a century The Original Gypsy Fair has been travelling New Zealand are in Tauranga for their seventh fair of the 2017-2018 season this weekend.

As always they will be bringing an expansive range of handcrafted products that are sold exclusively at The Original Gypsy Fair, and their homes, which are the largest fleet of privately owned heritage vehicles continuously touring New Zealand.

There will also be a world renowned glass blower Geoff Brunker who skillfully manipulates molten glass into an array of beautiful works of art, a master craftsman Phil White who has created beautiful fretwork as well as a selection of toys and other wooden creations.

As well as a stunning range of handmade fork art, bead craft, jewellery and machine embroidery by David and Rowena.

Tattooing and body piercing are available by Jude Sergeant and Sandy who can skillfully braid your hair and also have a fine selection of hair accessories, hair extensions, seashells and starfish.

Inhale the divine scents as you walk into Donnas ‘Wildflower Aromas' where you will feast your eyes on her beautiful range of handmade soaps, balms, oils and soy candles, while you are there take the time to marvel at Tony's handcrafted walking sticks where a lot of love and time has gone into what is not only a work of art but also a necessity for many.
