Clockenflap is one of the most anticipated music events in town, but there’s a lot more than just music going on.

There will also be artists to glam up your look with temporary tattoos, henna, hair braiding and face painting. For those who can’t make Clockenflap, check out the free-of-charge Discovery Bay Sunday Market by the same organiser on November 29.

JCCAC Handicraft Fair

At the last of the artist centre’s quarterly handicrafts fair this year, visitors can expect to find a variety of DIY crafters showing off their creations. If you’re looking for something other than the usual cookie-cutter plastic-wrapped goods, this is the place for you, as most products on sale are one of a kind. Other than shopping, there are studio visits and alfresco film screenings to keep you busy.

November 28-29, 1pm-7pm, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, 30 Pak Tin Street, Shek Kip Mei
