Unique & Local
Arts and crafts thrive in the Glen Innes Highlands. Take time to explore the many galleries, artists, crafts stores, antiques, museums and treasures.
Many locals are keeping traditional crafts alive that date back to the area’s pioneering days – saddlers, blacksmiths and farriers. A visit to Glen Innes is a chance to watch them at work or attend a workshop to learn new skills.
If you are here when the markets are on, you will not be disappointed. Our talented local artisans offer only the best, top-quality handcrafted products. You are sure to find something you love, for a gift or to spoil yourself.
