Yes, the fair takes place every year, twice a year, in autumn and spring.

Here’s a quick summary of all the creativity waiting for you:

• Exhibitors with all the materials you need to create
• Special areas with top creatives ready to teach, show, and share all their DIY secrets. Check out the news page to discover more.
• Exhibitions and installations
• Loads of courses, of all kinds!

You can book courses online on the official Abilmente website. You can also sign up directly at the fair, but spots sell out fast… so it’s best to book early!

You’ll find all the courses, regularly updated, in the “courses” section accessible from the website menu.
Each cours page has full details on how to register, timings and teachers.

Note: If you can’t find the “courses” menu item, it means the section isn’t online yet, so you’ll need to be patient a little longer.

Prices are available in the “Tickets and useful info” section of the official website. You can buy them online or directly at the fair.

• Credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, PostePay)
• PayPal
• Satispay

Don’t panic! If your payment doesn’t go through, you don’t receive your ticket, or you have any doubts:

• Check your junk/spam folder—sometimes the email ends up there.

• Make sure you entered your card or payment details correctly.

• If the problem continues, email our support team at helpdesk@abilmente.org or call +39 054 1744555, available every Tuesday and Friday from 9.30 am to 12.20, from 17 June to 5 September.
