WORKSHOPS
Many of the workshop tickets will be available for pre-purchase online and a lot of them sell out in the leadup to the Maleny Wood Expo.
In order to avoid disappointment, we recommend you purchase your tickets in advance.
Please note that most workshop tickets include a one day or multi-day pass depending on the duration of the workshop.
So if you are booking a workshop with a pass included, you will not have to purchase a ticket here.
All workshops will be listed under the program section of the Maleny Wood Expo website.
