My little Girl enjoyed the workshop. She’s really into crafting especially with clay at the moment.
All materials were provided and we were allowed to take with us what was left.
The teacher was really friendly.

Abby Apr 2024


My daughter and I had a lovely time at Hobbycraft doing the monster clay workshop. The teacher was amazing and made it fun for the kids. And my daughter came home very happy with her monster creations

Sue Apr 2024


Both grandchildren enjoyed the class. They learnt to use different printing tools and made different colours by mixing the paints. The instructor was very encouraging in them expressing themselves on the canvas

Sue Turnock-Rogers Apr 2024


My granddaughter loved the session & found the teacher really friendly & easy to follow.

Thank you

Jacqueline Haddon Apr 2024


Great teacher and really good value for money, the clay used was good, as there was no mess from it, kids really enjoyed it

Clare Millington Mar 2024


I did a crochet basics course at the Bridgemere Hobbycraft. I was provided with two balls of wool, a crochet hook, and an instruction sheet and a cotton bag to take them home in. I came away from the class which was only one and a half hours long, having practised a few different stitches. I now have the confidence that with ongoing practice by myself I will become competent in these stitches. I have previously tried yto teach myself to crochet by watching online videos and also from a book, but to no avail. I think the class was good value for money and I will definitely try the Granny squares class when I am confident with what I learnt the on this course. I would also consider doing other classes both instore and online after trying out this one. Thanks to Fiona the tutor, she was really helpful.

Lesley O'Reilly Mar 2024


Excellent materials and guidance for Easter bonnet making. The glue guns were a little difficult and a bit unsuitable for young children as they could be hot to the touch. Overall a really enjoyable experience which our granddaughters enjoyed. Thank you

A lovely event…. At the Nantwich location… lovely personal set up/space!

Sam (the host) was great - second time she had hosted our workshop! And brilliant both times! Very polite, informative and friendly!

Great selection of resources, well organised; a lovely thing to do which I recommend to everyone.

Jewellery Making class review by Anna - Crewe

Tara Dec 2023


I would highly recommend this crafting activity! My children really enjoyed it and it’s such good value for money! The children got to make/ decorate 3 decorations. Only negative is that they should make the class slightly longer as it’s not enough time. The teacher was great and so patient! I will definitely book on to more of these activities with Hobbycraft next year.

Jo Dec 2023


The lady who runs this workshop is just fabulous, especially with the children. She is helpful, patient and has some great ideas and suggestions. We had a lovely afternoon, thank you.
And it’s so lovely to see Hobbycraft back doing some free workshops again.

Faye was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure all the kids knew what they were doing and that they all had wonderful Christmassy figures to enjoy for years to come. Bridgemere was a great venue as well as you are in a separate room without any distractions. The whole family loved this craft.

Thoroughly enjoyed the session today. My two girls age 6 and 8 lived decorating their haunted houses.

Karen Flannery Oct 2023


The teacher was helpful and patient and gave great ideas for our pumpkins. The workshop space was quiet and away from the main shop. The pumpkins were a good size and we had plenty of materials to choose from so our imagination ans creativity could run wild! My daughter loved the activity and learnt a skill she can use again. We will definitely be doing another workshop soon

Great value for money. The children really enjoyed themselves and got to take the rest of the clay home to finish their models/make more. The teacher was friendly and helpful.

A definite must for any child at Halloween ⭐️
I took my 2 daughters and 2 nieces to Hobby Craft in Bridgemere and they all absolutely loved it. Faye was a wonderful teacher being really enthusiastic and encouraging. She pitched it perfectly for each child whose ages ranged from 5-10, showing them lots of ways to make each character personal to them. We got plenty of clay and got to keep what we didn’t use during the session. I Would definitely recommend this activity and Faye deserves a medal for keeping the little ones entertained for the entire session 5 ⭐️.

Dee Daky Oct 2023


My daughter loved this class. Faye was very good at communicating and demonstrating to the children in the projects. Will sign up for more in the future.

Julie Stembridge Oct 2023


Dee was fabulous, she was knowledgeable about the different sewing machine and set me up on the sewing machine of my choice. We went over everything, different features of the machine, threading the bobbing and needle. I had a go at basic sewing in straight lines, circles and a square, I felt confident and ready to use a sewing machine when i left. Dee also gave me lots of tips, which will be very important as i take my sewing further, I will definitely go back to Dee to talk about putting zips in, buttons and Dee was happy to say see you again soon. absolutely brilliant hour well worth the money with a fabulous lady.

Janet Machin Sep 2023


Fiona was very patient, very friendly and we learnt a lot. Fiona also passed on a few a tips.

Thursday 24 8 2023 at Bridgemere Hobby craft.
I booked this class as I have recently purchased the Hobby craft 19s sewing machine. I wanted to get a better understanding to thread a bobbin and thread the machine. Also, I wanted to alter curtains that I have purchased. Dee the instructor patient explained the machine, stiches and thread. I now feel confident in using the machine. Thank you Dee

Ellie Curzon Aug 2023


Nice workshop and friendly, enthusiastic man running it who made it fun for the kids but unfortunately the materials let it down a bit. The masking effect didn’t really work as the watery paint got under the tape and it needed thicker paint really for the technique to work. Bit of a shame really x

Lorraine Sweeney Aug 2023


Dee was my tutor and was great took time to find out about what I knew and needed so she could concentrate my lesson on what I needed gave lots of hint and tips increasing my confidence and knowledge of machine . We were away from the main shop area so no distractions… I would recommend to anyone interested as a beginner or someone who want to increase their sewing machine skills.

I took my daughters and their friend aged 8-10 to a canvas painting session. Session teacher was nice and friendly. The girls enjoyed the session, they enjoyed mixing a painting. I did feel there could have been more choice of colours available to use. If there were paints an aisle for choice rather than pre selected on a tray. No light colours white/pinks to use.

My us feel so comfortable and shared lots of tips and got my mum using the machine
Fab, 10/10 service and would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to learn a new skill!

Pauline Savage Feb 2023


The teacher was friendly and knowledgable. The class was small enough to have yndivifindividual attention. The equipment provided was appropriate and there was enough time to Lear. Three stitches. A small point - it would have been nice to have yarn in more attractive colours rather than mustard and dark grey.

Sandra Poole Jan 2023


The teacher was very friendly, supportive and easily understood. We learnt quite a lot in a short time. Plenty to practice with. Not too sure regarding the materials. Large box for two balls of wool and a hook plus instructions, exquisitely wrapped in pink tissue but
questionable substance

Abi Bryan Jan 2023


Very good class to learn the basics of crochet. The teacher was very helpful and a small class size meant plenty of opportunities for 1-to-1 help. Good value for money.

This was a gift for my mother in law, she hadn't sewed in a while and had just been given a new machine so the aim was for her get to know her machine, she found it very helpful and picked up some great tips. One of her concerns was threading the machine due to poorly eyetest but she got to try a couple of machine threaders before buying one which is so helpful for her!

We had such a great time! Dawn, our teacher, was super with all of the children. She happily showed them what to do, encouraged them and helped where and when required.
Great value for money as the mache pumpkins were a good size.
And special thanks to Tom, the manager, for accommodating us when we couldn’t make our original booked date; not only was he lovely, he bent over backwards so that we could still come.
As a location, Bridgemere was excellent, especially as we were able to take the children for hot chocolate and cake in the cafe afterwards :-)

Excellent use of materials and Hayley the teacher was amazing. Great with the kids and my girls really enjoyed it.

My children really enjoyed this workshop. The teacher was fantastic making them both feel welcome and helping them both throughout the workshop. Hayley (teacher) had made up examples ready which my youngest daughter found really useful to copy and my older daughter enjoyed creating new ideas and discussing these with Hayley. There was lots to do and fill the whole hour and the location away from the shop floor was nice and quiet. My girls had 5 puppets to complete and take home. Superb value for money!

I had a fabulous 1:1 session with Tom at Hobbycraft Bridgemere. Totally tailored to what I needed. Loved that we used a design idea that I am currently working on and I can now make the most of designing with and for my machine.

Tom is an absolute angel!

Completed the spring wreath making workshop today (12th March). It was just me so it was really nice to have the 1 to 1 session to learn something new and had a really good chat.

Definitely money well spent!

My children loved the workshop and got very creative, Hayley was very welcoming, kind and very helpful. The children enjoyed it so much that we brought more clay so that they could make more at home.

My son really enjoyed this workshop with Hayley. She was very friendly and he felt very comfortable. The materials were good and really allowed him to use his imagination. It was priced well.

My 6 year old loved this canvas painting workshop! The teacher was patient, very patient! She was pleasant & kind, & the workshop was great value for money, costing no more than the canvas itself. The teacher even provided us with a box for our wet canvas! Great workshop & great shop. Thanks

Excellent one to one lesson. Listened to my particular needs and what I required guidance with and explained in a brilliant way how to get the results I wanted

Hayley was very knowledgeable and showed me how to do the things I wanted to do, would book her again.
Customer service however were not so organised with change of time and communication, might be best if they spoke with tutors before liaising with customer.

Hi Tom was teaching, he was excellent. Very informative new his subject and explained it really well. I learnt all about the cricut machine and design space and he went through which machine he thought would suit what I want to use it for. Would recommend

First of all, Hayley, our teacher, was brilliant-very friendly and helpful! She had a great understanding of the craft and talked to us about her own learning which was very reassuring as I was not a natural. The environment was great as it was tucked away at the back of the store so we could focus whilst also being a nice light/warm space to sit for an hour.
The workshop box was good value for money and contained great quality items to work with and the practice sheets were very useful! It was good to have the option to practice and then finish up at home if needed.
The craft itself was well thought out and we were pleased to here the styles had come from an in-house designer. It was also great to see some examples that Hayley had done to get some ideas.
Thank you for an excellent and safe afternoon activity that was fun and accessible!

Tom was the class leader & he was great. There was a great choice of materials to choose from. Tom was very encouraging to those of the class who were unsure of what they were doing, also to those of us who have done craft before. We will definitely recommend & return again.

Tom led our session, he was great! guided us through the process without influencing our choice of design.
Good value for money, plenty of decorations to use between the group with additional items provided when running low.
Thank you we will definately do this againspring wreath making?

I really enjoyed the workshop. After some general guidelines we were left to decorate as we wanted and it was good to have a few extras to add on.

Meg Smith Nov 2021


The workshop was fantastic, we all had a great time. Hayley was brilliant and very helpful with some useful tips and tricks. We had plenty of items to put on our wreaths and are very happy with the end result.

Enjoyed the class. Shame that one of the stamps were bigger than the cutter. Would also be good to have some gloves in the kit.

Great fun. The cloches are very pretty & there’s plenty of materials left to make more

Sarah Lawton Nov 2021


Really great , Helen the instructor was lovey and very clear on what to do. The only thing missing was different paint colours would be nice, if the paint wasn’t included in the kit just some more colours would’ve been nice. Great session though

The teacher was very friendly and patient and gave some good tips and advice!
Despite some difficulty opening things with some dodgy scissors, the materials provided were suitable for the project. I also enjoyed having our own glue guns to take home so we could do more baubles, so I think it was good value for money.

Judith Turner Nov 2021


Everything about it was great, great teacher, lots of supplies and ideas. It’s good to learn how to do different things. Thank you very much.

Hayley was very helpful and explained how each of the products worked. I had never used acrylic paint before, so this was particularly useful. The products were good quality and well packaged, so that I was able to transport home easily

Tom explained the main features of the Cricut & demonstrated some actions before allowing me to have a go. I came away much more confident & ready to try on my own machine

Dee was an excellent teacher. She explained all the features of the Sewing machine and was very patient. I feel a lot more confident to try out my machine at home now!

Alexandra Bowers Oct 2021


Teacher was first class. Very pleasant and described the Cricut machine very well. She showed me how machine worked with different materials.
I do card making but this machine could be so handy for other projects as well. The value was great, in a room on our own and warm.
I had no idea what this machine would do but I gained confidence through Hayley putting me at ease. Very good teacher

Really enjoyed the wreath making workshop. Great materials and instructions. Very impressed with my first workshop.

Barbara Scarpello Oct 2021


Pleasant and creative teacher.
Some glue would have speeded things up a bit.
The paper cutter was a new thing for me and I was so impressed that I bought one before I left the store.
Plenty of nice designs for inspiration.

This was a very good one to one workshop which I really enjoyed. The instructor showed me how to use my Cricut Maker and explained everything in an easy to understand way. He was very knowledgeable on the machine and answered all the questions I asked. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is unsure how to use their new Cricut machine.

Hayley, our teacher, was fantastic. She was very welcoming, patient with the children and explained things carefully. She had a great knowledge too.
The quality of the materials we received was excellent and my little boy was happy with the results. He did find some aspects of the workshop very tricky so perhaps an age of 5 upwards would be more suitable.

My 10 year old grandaughter really enjoyed this workshop. Hayley was an excellent instructor, very friendly and gave lots of tips on how to paint with acrylics. The pack included everything needed to paint a floral scene and my grandaughter was really pleased with the picture she took away to complete at home.

Evie Addy-Green Aug 2021


A lovely welcome from the Tutor, made my daughter (14) feel at ease, and as I couldn’t book myself in on the same time workshop Tom allowed me to join in.
Functional room used for the session with everything at hand.
The incredibly knowledgeable Tom took us through every element of getting started with the new Birthday present Cricut Explore Air 2 and beyond.
The 1-2 session with the extremely competent Tom has left us both confident in our knowledge of the amazing Air 2 and can’t wait to get using it to its full potential.
Recommendations from Tom were very valuable and we made purchases after the session in the store to help us with our projects going forward.
We would both fully recommend these workshops for Cricut enthusiasts of any age and level, to either start your Cricut journey or embellish your abilities further, they are such good value for money for the level of training.
Thank you Tom @Hobbycraft Bridgemere ☺️

Hayley was really good with my granddaughter - she was very enthusiastic and put Ava at her ease.

The kit provided was of good value and a nice touch that Ava got to open the parcel herself.
