The best way to meet Golden Thread is in person.

We travel to curated markets and festivals across NSW with our stall — a hand-built space made from reclaimed and upcycled materials. The tablecloth is cut and sewn from upcycled tent canvas. The signage is hand-painted. The leather chai sign was cut from offcuts of our previous craft. Nothing was bought off a market supply catalogue. Everything was made.

At the stall we brew chai fresh on site in a 30 litre pot — slow, aromatic, and made the same way we make it at home. A $7 cup is the best way to meet the blend before you take a bag home.

✦ Winterheat Festival 2026

In August 2026 we collaborated with @fingerscrossedcreative to bring a full chai tent experience to Winterheat Festival at Pacific Park, Newcastle. Twelve spices, a 30 litre pot, and 12,000 people coming in from the cold. It was one of the best nights we've had.

Where we trade

We trade at a selection of values-aligned markets and festivals across the Hunter region each year — including Made & Found Market in Newcastle, the Sustainable Living Festival at Port Stephens, and The Gum Ball Music & Arts Festival in the Hunter Valley.

Upcoming dates will be posted here and on our Instagram as they're confirmed.

Follow us at @goldenthreadchai so you never miss us.
