WHO WE ARE

AT YABBA DABBA DOO, WE FIND FUN IN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!

The Yabba Dabba Doo Fair is the must-attend fair and fun day event for babies, toddlers, kids, parents/carers, and all parents-to-be.

We aim to provide the most stylish baby-kids fair in Tasmania.

We go beyond the bump and baby, where we showcase vendors with products and services for children 0 - 17 years of age.

The event is designed to be informative but, most of all, fun. People can spend the day shopping, laughing with their kids, catching up with friends, having lunch, watching and listening to entertainment, and purchasing everything they need on one massive day. It will be a beautiful, complete experience for the whole family.

This event will include talks, education, and all our Tasmanian families' essential shopping needs.

We will also showcase wonderful vendors for ages 0 - 17 years old. An experience for the whole family where you can purchase all you need whilst feeding and entertaining all of your Yabba Dabba Doos!

Meet the Team

  • Kate Craddock

    OWNER/MANAGER

    Kate is a mother of two and has a much busier life now than she did before. After selling her last event, 'Pure Bride,' in 2019, she took some time off, but now she feels like she's "back" and ready for a new challenge. With her extensive qualifications in Hospitality, Events, and Marketing, Kate is the perfect person to lead you down the new Yabba Dabba Doo Fair road. She has already planned out how the event will run, how it will look, and how she will promote it to the right people. Having done this before, she hopes to make it even bigger and better than in the past. Kate is excited to see how everything unfolds in the future.

  • Lily Jeffries

    WRITER/EDITOR

    Lily isn’t a mum, but her love for her family, her friends and little ones in her life makes her feel very fulfilled. With a passion for children, education and writing, Lily absolutely loves being an English and Humanities high school teacher.

  • Simone Dobber

    ENTERTAINMENT MANAGER

    Simone is a mother of two beautiful children who keep her on her toes. Her ability to juggle so many things in life is mind-blowing. She has a kind-hearted and generous soul who will drop everything to be by your side if you need her. Simone's background as an actor herself makes her the best team member for YDDF to look after all things related to entertainment. Her calm yet determined spirit shines through in roles when she is a stage manager all the way through to being on the stage herself. Simone's customer service skills are infectious, and we hope that anyone who gets the chance to meet her will instantly want to be her friend. Hopefully, she might even perform for us on the day herself!

    Sara is an amazing aunt who shows immense love for her beautiful family. Her infectious character is full of love for life, beauty, and all things management. There is nothing that Sara can't do, and running a "tight ship" is something she excels at. Her attention to detail is incredible, and her photographic memory is something everyone should be envious of.
