Small businesses that make gifts and homewares have been thrown yet another curveball, with the continuing COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney prompting the organisers of the popular AGHA Gift Fairs to cancel next month’s event in the city.
The AGHA Sydney Gift Fair was due to take place from 19 to 22 February at the showgrounds at Sydney’s Olympic Park, and hundreds of exhibitors had already booked their spots, including those travelling from outside the state capital, and who had booked accommodation nearby.
More than 300 businesses had already signed up to attend or exhibit at the fair, which in previous years had attracted more than 10,000 visitors and buyers across the three days.
