The Station Arts Centre in Tillsonburg, Ontario, is introducing a new weekly craft activity called Big Cheese Days starting May 9, 2026. Every Saturday throughout May, residents can visit the centre from 8 a.m. to noon to create their own paper collage cheese and charcuterie boards.
This new activity coincides with the ongoing Big Cheese Days, a county-wide celebration organized by Tourism Oxford that highlights the region’s culinary history and the Oxford County Cheese Trail. The local craft project at the arts centre offers a hands-on way for the community to participate in the broader regional event.
Participants who complete a paper board can have their work photographed by centre staff. These images will be entered into an online competition held during the first week of June, with the top-voted entry winning a $25 gift card to the Station Arts Centre Gallery.
The craft activity will run alongside the Tillsonburg Farmers Market, which is located outside the venue at 41 Bridge St. W. The Station Arts Centre, a non-profit organization, is housed in two historic train stations, with the original structure dating back to 1879.
