About Us

Hobbies are Our Business

Maritime Hobbies and Crafts has been in the business since 1946.

Welcome to Maritime Hobbies & Crafts. We are Canada's oldest hobby shop. 

Established in 1946 on the corner of Agricola and Almon Streets in Halifax, 

Nova Scotia, we have moved to various locations over the years including 

Granville, Hollis and Barrington Streets. Today we can be found in a historic 

heritage property on Grafton Street near the corner of Spring Garden Road.

We are a source of information on many hobbies and interests.

Our staff have many decades of experience with the hobby and craft products that we carry. In addition, we offer a wide variety of hobby magazines, manufacturer's catalogues and other literature.

We carry many traditional hobby items including model trains, plastic model kits, wooden model boats and planes, radio control products, modelling materials, hobby tools, kites, jigsaw puzzles, and more.
