Andrea Apr 2024


I have tried and tired to crochet and struggled so booked this to help me. Debbie was amazing so calm and she took her time to explain and help me to actually achieve 3 different types of stitch. This is ideal for beginners to get use to the stitches and how to hold the yarn etc. you also get yarn and a hook to take home to carry on your journey! Thank you Debbie

Diane Town Apr 2024


We had Louise from Kings Lynn branch teach paint pouring to two of us in a private class. I have to say that I was very impressed that the option to do this existed, especially as I had expected private tuition would cost more than a general group class. This was not the case. Louise was very friendly and a great teacher, patient and clear with instruction. I liked that she was able to do the craft alongside us too.
Paint pouring itself is a really fun thing to do, you don't know what the final item will look like and each created is unique. Great value for money, and the kit you get has plenty of paint left to take home and use again. Just waiting for mine to dry so I can collect it from store to bring home. 10/10 recommended! :)

Joyce Chen Apr 2024


Vicky was so good with children and my son had a wonderful time. We’ll be back again soon.

My daughter and her little friend ???? this work shop it great for mixed ages.thank you

Yvonne Gant Apr 2024


Fabulous time, learnt loads, fantastic, enthusiastic teacher.
Bought as a gift for myself. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about your Cricut machine

Carol Norman Mar 2024


A lovely 1 to 1 with Louise on the Cricut maker 3. Some very helpful hints and advice. Came away with 2 completed projects.

Rachel Mar 2024


Excellent workshop for absolute beginner. Managed to pick up the basics and the tutor was very easy going and explained things very clearly.

Rosalyn Martin Mar 2024


Did the crochet with friendly, helpful (and patient)! teacher Vicky. Took us both the whole of the session for my friend and I to get the hang of it. Two balls of chunky wool and crochet hook provided in a cloth bag.
Would give 5 stars if the shop had a loo (as we had travelled some distance).

Linda Speechley Mar 2024


The Easter bonnet making class was very well organised & led by a great lady. She explained everything very clearly & was very helpful with the children. The materials supplied were very good & my daughter aged 6 & her best friend of the same age thoroughly enjoyed themselves & love their bonnets.

Kerry Massen Mar 2024


It was a lovely one to one class with a very kind and knowledgeable lady who was very patient and showed me the basics of how to start my first foray into the world of crochet. I now look forward to exploring this craft further.

Gail Mar 2024


This was a great workshop with Deborah who is very kind & knowledgeable. Watching Sewing Bee is one of my favourite pastimes, so I decided to see if I can learn to use a sewing machine. Deborah showed me how modern machines work. I had a go at basic stitching and we looked at the different features on the various machines on offer. She gave me lots of advice and tips and I came away feeling more confident that I can actually do it. I’ll be returning to buy my first sewing machine soon and can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much!

Rachael Waterson Mar 2024


We enjoyed our Spring wreath making class. A lovely event to do with our Mum on Mothering Sunday. Resources were easy to use and Deborah gave clear instructions and support throughout.

We did the Easter wreath making workshop at the Kings Lynn Hobbycraft. The lady who took the class was very friendly, the kits provided were really nice, and I’m very pleased with my wreath.

Floristry class review by Diane Town - Peterborough

Margaret Garrett Mar 2024


The reason for the course was to find out whether or not a cricut would be right for me The teacher was spot on everything was very well explained she was very helpful
I took my Grandaughter hopefully to spark an interest in the cricut as she is computer literate and picks things up quickly It would also be good for her cv if she got into making lots of things
Very good value for money
I liked most the whole experience as it gave me a good insight into what I could do on the cricut
Thanks very much for everything

Angela Feb 2024


These sessions are great value for money and fun for the kids. Gives lots of ideas for things to do at home too

Emma Main Feb 2024


The class was very informative for me and my daughter. I was shown several different things I could use my Cricut for. I left feeling more confident and with some lovely ideas. I was told to pop back at any time if I had any more questions.

Elliot Drew Feb 2024


Great session and friendly staff. My children loved it and thought good value for money too.

Eylem Atmaca Feb 2024


It was great, my daughter loved it and the teachers were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this workshop. :)

Bev Rooney Feb 2024


I am a complete beginner to crotchet but was made to feel relaxed and reassured. Our coach Sue was very experienced and provided lots of explanation and demonstration of the techniques needed. The venue was bright, clean and warm. We were provided with all the materials needed and a print out of instructions to take home. Sue was also able to advise about how to extend your skills at home and the best materials to use. I had a very enjoyable time and although I didn’t find it easy, the time flew by and it was fun. I’d highly recommend this course.

Ann Ellis Feb 2024


Sue was very patient and I’m really
Pleased with how the class went. I would recommend these in person classes at Hobbycraft. Good value for money. Thanks Sue

Patricia Malcolm Feb 2024


It was very informative and made it easy to learn thank you very good teacher

Emma Ward Feb 2024

Anonymised ClassBento student Jan 2024


I had a one to one sewing machine lesson with Sue who was very friendly and taught me everything I needed to know about the machine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt alot while using the machine. I thought the lesson was good value for money and would thoroughly recommend.

John Hopkins Jan 2024


Louise was very professional, fun and knowledgeable. She went through every step slowly so I could follow what to do, she explained everything I need to do to start creating with my Joy, she even ensured I pressed a few buttons

Amy Aherne Dec 2023


Sarah W was great, explained everything and was very helpful.

Price and venue was also great.
The only negative I would say is it would be better to make session slightly longer, maybe by 10 minutes or so.

Lucy Dec 2023


My daughter and her friend really enjoyed making Christmas baubles.
Teacher (Hannah), was great with all the children. She let the children be creative and provided materials for their ideas. Will definitely be booking another session.

Leonor Torres Dec 2023


Was really good. the teacher was helpful. Really easy instruction. My 4 year old stay still most of the time and that is an achievement

Teresa Sherratt Dec 2023


The teacher Tracey was absolutely brilliant very patient with us all and a very kind lady.
The venue was good although a little cold as the heating wasn’t working. Wool and information for session was good. Overall was a good experience and can’t wait to start my crochet journey. Well done hobby craft and Tracey

Helen Harris Dec 2023


The teacher was great. She was very patient with us all and happy to answer questions. I was happy with the materials provided and thought the class was good value for money.

Sue Nov 2023


Sue my teacher was very good, I learned what I needed to know about my new machine. Sue was also very helpful in suggesting projects for me to start my sewing hobby.

Carole Clough Nov 2023


My friend and I had our questions answered in easy to understand language. The teacher was pleasant and patient

Susan Mills Nov 2023


This was a very enjoyable workshop. Claire was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had a lot of fun. I would recommend this workshop to anyone.

Elizabeth Bell Nov 2023


Louise was very friendly and offering a lot of help and advice. The products were good quality. The venue was a little cold as they had a problem with heating but that's not their fault. We all thought it was great value for money.

Eylem Atmaca Nov 2023


It was great my daughter loved it and the teacher was amazing. I will definitely recommend this workshop:)

Carole Rogers Nov 2023


The lady who ran the class was not experienced with wreath making and is a specialist in a different craft. She was absolutely professional and supportive but it was apparent that she was unfamiliar with the techniques required to create the wreath.

Verity Jenness Nov 2023


Excellent session. Very knowledgeable and patient as I was a complete novice. Talked through lots of different bits and helped me to create a couple of bits to take away with me. Can't wait to get my own now and get creating. Would definitely recommend!

Teddi Gingell Nov 2023


I thought it was great value for money. Great staff and excellent service. My son enjoyed every minute and so did I lol.
Definitely will recommend to others
Thank you

Rachael Waterson Nov 2023


The materials are beautiful and will come in handy to practise the skill at home. Teacher was patient and gave good tips.

Marion Bobbins Nov 2023


Great workshop, Debbie talked us through each step which was great and she was more than happy to go over again when we asked.
We did have a problem as several of the hot glue guns wouldn't work but Debbie found 2 that worked so we were a to continue.
I didnt like the ribbon as it had writing on but when the bow was made you couldn't read it. So I left it off. But very happy.
Thank you very pleased with my wreath.

Floristry class review by Marion Bobbins - Peterborough

Pat Fysh Nov 2023


Really enjoyed the wreath making workshop. Debbie, our tutor, was knowledgeable and explained in an easy to understand way what we needed to do, assisting when requested. I’m a complete beginner and she put me at ease straight away.

Nicky Sheldrake Nov 2023


The teacher was very friendly, she didn’t rush us and had a lot of good pointers for us. The resources for us to use were lovely and good quality. A really enjoyable experience for some novices.

Christmas Star Wreath Making review by Nicky Sheldrake - Peterborough

Dawn Burton Nov 2023


Sarah W was lovely and shared some great ideas with me. I'm looking forward to practising a new skill.

The only thing I was disappointed with was just getting two white pens in the pack. It would have be better to have a colour one included.

Sheila Smyth Nov 2023


Enjoyed the class. Teacher very patient & explained each step of the process and waited until we were all ready to move on which made for a relaxed learning experience. The first time I had done marbling and pleased with the baubles & the effects I created.
Will be doing again at home.
Suggestions given for variations to give different effects.
Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

Christmas Ceramic Bauble Marbling review by Sheila Smyth - Peterborough

Lesley Batey Nov 2023


Very friendly assistants but you definitely need more glitter on it. All the kit was value for money.

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


I enjoyed the class and teacher was very nice. It was quite a steep learning curve in only 90 minutes and was a bit difficult when there were four other people all needing advice from teacher as well. Smaller groups could be a good idea or at least the possibility to book a smaller class.

Julia Dunning Nov 2023


Our teacher Sue made everything very clear and answered all our questions. My Granddaughter really enjoyed practising on the machine. We gained in confidence and realised the mistakes we had been making.
Good value and fun.

Angela Nov 2023


A fun activity with everything supplied. Small group so not overwhelming for my daughter. Great value for money

Rosemary Nov 2023


Tracy is an excellent tutor. The venue was great. The evening slot was very quiet and relaxing. The materials were very good quality and the suggestions Tracy gave at the end to

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


Really enjoyed this workshop- Thank you Sue.
The teacher was very knowledgeable in crochet and happy to go over the different stitches again for us until we felt confident to give them a try with the kit that is provided. The workshop was excellent value for money and it was great that the yarn, hook and guide sheets were also provided within the price.

Rosalyn Martin Oct 2023


Our artisan Sarah W was great, even taking us round the store afterwards showing us similar products to the ones practiced on. We did the brush lettering course and were supplied with: a cloth Hobbycraft bag; 8 Papermania brush pens; pad of bleedproof paper; pack of 10 gift tags; spiral hardcover book; practice paper and alphabet guide - so very good value for money.
Would have been 5 stars if there had been a toilet! We had travelled some miles to do the course but were told to go outside and find one elsewhere!

Rachael Oct 2023


I was unsure if I wanted a cricut and wanted to know what I could use it for. I'm a crafter and found that I can use it for just about anything The teacher was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She shared projects she had made, talked about the design space and how to use it and share tips and tricks. Used different materials to show me the versatility and made projects relevant to me. I will be exploring more what I can do but think I'll be back for a cricut machine in the near future Thank you

Matt Morley Oct 2023


For the money I thought this was a great workshop, the lady taking the class was helpful and provided plenty of resources for doing the spooky house

Chloe Matthews Oct 2023


Both my children had a fantastic time creating their pumpkins. The staff member was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be looking into all the other workshops they have to offer.

Josephine Grant Oct 2023


My grandsons really enjoyed decorating their haunted houses.
It was definitely good value and an hour of fun.

Jayne Holmes Oct 2023


This was a fab session, everything was provided. I expected to make 1 or 2 things. We made 5! The staff member was friendly & helpful. We’ll definitely attend another session.

Cathy Piper Oct 2023


Good instructions. A Good amount of craft supplies.
Simple as easy for children to enjoy

Mandy Dewey Oct 2023


Louise had to use her own laptop it wasn’t connected to the sawgrass printer so couldn’t print anything didn’t get my freebie last time there was no laptop so had to go to the office Louise is brilliant and answers all questions no fault with her at all

Lucy Hewlett Oct 2023


Friendly lady in charge of class, good materials to use.
Maybe some clean up equipment provided would have been handy.
But my son enjoyed it, and was happy with his pumpkin.

Jane Cole Oct 2023


Very knowledgeable, easy to follow and understand to take away and play straight away. Highly recommend.

Lynsey Warren Oct 2023


Louise was so knowledgeable about the Cricut. She showed me the design space, how to cut different materials and gave me advice on the best materials to use for machine and projects. I highly recommend booking a one to one workshop in Kings Lynn with Louise

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


Sue was lovely, very informative, and patient. I learnt a lot about using my machine, I certainly feel more confident. Lots of ideas and advice on projects, where to start etc. Definitely recommend the class, also good to know I can get help and advice when I need it

Patricia Sweetlove Oct 2023


Booking process an absolute nightmare. Tracey was great but said class should have been for 1.5 hours. I was only booked from 4.30-5.30. Had to book a further session to use up money on voucher
That was not easy in store. My time limited due to needing to catch bus back to Swaffham - 1hourly service.

Geraldine McIlwaine Oct 2023


Sue was really helpful and knew a lot about the machines so was able to provide me with a lot of information.

There was a bit of confusion about what I wanted as I wasn't a beginner but looking to buy a new modern machine.

We spent some time using some of the advanced attachments which has really helpful and the advice given will certainly be influencing my purchasing choice.

Hannah Oct 2023


Great class. The process was explained clearly and the teacher was very patient and kind.

Dorne Lumber Oct 2023


Really enjoyed the course and I found the tutor brilliant, patient and knowledgeable. The reason I have not given a ‘great’ is because I feel the materials provided could have been more appropriate for beginners. Otherwise I recommend the course to others.

Joanne Vautier Oct 2023


Had lovely relaxing morning making an Autumn Wreath with Lucy. There were plenty of materials to use and we both produced beautiful wreaths. And I left with my wreath, some additional materials if I want to add to it, a glue gun and a bag to put the materials in.

I thought it was great value for money and it would make a nice present for someone who enjoys crafting.

Great value for money, great session leader who really helped me get started. Much appreciated and thank you!

Carol Witt Aug 2023


An excellent class with Louise. She was friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful and was able to answer all my questions. At the end of the hour we'd produced three cards using Design Space. As a result of her excellent tuition I feel more confident to try myself. I will definitely book more one to one sessions in the future.

Amy Cressingham Aug 2023


The girls loved the session and made a fair few creatures. Louise was friendly, kind and patient. The clay was easy to use , nice and soft. She made my you get laugh by getting Google eyes stuck on her fingers

James Skelton Aug 2023


A great session with Debbie who had a fantastic manner with my child. Impressed with the quality of the materials. Good pace of session. This was our first craft session with Hobbycraft and are looking into book our next.

Jo Jenkinson Aug 2023


Absolutley awful
I'm so upset. Bought my 3 girls today to do the personalised keyring workshop We got there and got shown to rhe craft table.

It was filthy with felt pen all over it There were a few pipe cleaners and some beads thrown on the table.
The girl did not greet me or the girls or even explain how to make it. We sat down and guessed what we were doing. I

Another girl had picked a pink pipe cleaner so I asked if there were anymore pink as my girls would like one. I was told no, I abruptly and what was on the table is all there was There was black, green and red (even though there were a whole self of craft bits behind us with pope cleaners on!

The ends of the pipe cleaners were sharp. But we had a go anyway We then tried to personalise with the letters But there were hardly any options of letters, so none of my 3 girls could put there name on
The girl was really unhelpful and grunted that that's all she had!
My eldest didn't end up making one at all! And the other 2 came home with a sharp black pipe cleaner with a couple of. See through beads threaded on it.

I'm very upset as I paid £15 for this and it wasn't work 50p! could have got the all these materials for £5 and done them at home!

Id like my money back as I've got hardly any money and we can have done something so much better with it!

Eylem Atmaca Aug 2023


Great activity and amazing teacher who showed and helped my daughter through out the workshop:)

Penny Baldry Aug 2023


Teacher was great, we we're late from a huge traffic jam and still sat with us to complete the craft after the time. We we're very grateful as my little girl was very worried we'd miss doing it.

Very simple and enjoyable for my 6 year old.

Ceri Elwick Aug 2023


Well worthwhile workshop with Deborah at King’s Lynn store. Very knowledgeable and helpful to a novice.

Julia Dunning Aug 2023


My granddaughter and I had a fun and interesting crochet lesson with Sue who encouraged us to ask questions. We learned about different stitches, now we need to practice.
We each received 2 balls of wool and a crochet hook plus a tutorial guide to take home.
The teaching area was comfortable and cool which helped out concentration on a hot day. Thank you.

Carol Hellen Aug 2023


The facilitator was lovely, friendly and encouraging. she adapted to the family dynamic really well with adults and children taking part.

Thank you very much.

Kim Lawrence Aug 2023


I had a lesson on Cricut Design space in Kings Lynn. Louise the tutor was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, polite and helpful. Louise showed me from basic lettering to cut away cards. She answered all my questions without hesitation. I must admit when i 1st purchased the Cricut Joy and set up design space it was mind blowing however, Louise made it all so understandable. She gave lots of tips and shortcuts. I would recommend this to a novice learner like me as I can’t wait to put that knowledge into practice now.

Cathy Piper Aug 2023


It was a shame that there was only us at the workshop. It was a simple idea but one that kept my daughter focussed for half an hour. The teacher gave plenty of praise and encouragement and allowed use of imagination. There was plenty of craft materials available.

Carol Summers Aug 2023


Thank you for a very good beginners guide to crochet. Tracey was very patient and I now feel confident that I can carry on crocheting. So pleased I took this course.

Samantha Jay Aug 2023


The crochet class was great. The teacher was really patient and being in person, she was able to check I was holding the crochet hook etc properly and helped with that. She was also friendly and informative helping with lots of tips. It's definitely helped me on the start of my crochet journey!

Emma Slaughter. Jul 2023


Venue was fine
Materials provided was a bonus. - I wasn’t expecting that !
Was good that lesson could go at my own pace.
Excellent value for money

Stephanie Brighton Jul 2023


We loved this so much, my little boy is really into mario and the teacher immediately thought how she could make it mario for him to enjoy, he was thrilled. He has neuro issues which make him so tired so he couldn't do every bit of it but the teacher encouraged me and daddy to get involved and she helped us create some brilliant things. Thank you so much!

Paula Guggiari Jul 2023


Cricut one to one workshop
My workshop was taught by Louise, who was vey welcoming and we started course on time. She was very patient, and explained things as clear as she could with a person who had limited knowledge of using Cricut on a mobile device.
A good all round workshop.
Would recommend a one to one workshop

Summer Hawkes Jul 2023


Thankyou to Deborah! My daughter enjoyed her session with you. Hopefully she can do another session in the future.

Allan Knights Jul 2023


Louise is brilliant, super helpful and very knowledgeable.
This is my third one-to-one and no doubt I'll be back at some point.
Great session.

Helen Barden Jun 2023


My daughter loved this! She was the only one who had booked on but nobody minded and we finished a little early if anything. The finished canvas looks so effective!

David Garland Jun 2023


Sue was great, ran me through the basics of setting up machine and then how to use it. Also gave me tips and guides for the projects I have in mind.
Thank you Sue

Kelly Jones Jun 2023


My teacher was brilliant, very calm. Felt extremely relaxed and had a great lesson. I now have a proper thirst to sort out my machine and get sewing again. Have some things in mind already. Got the Bags & Purses book so fingers crossed I’m on my way

Faye Jelley Jun 2023


My teacher was lovely. Not only did she explain into detail the answers to my questions. But also gave me advice, tips, hacks and much more to be able to achieve so much more on my Cricut machine.

Charlie Marranzini Jun 2023


Today I had a sewing lesson in Kings Lynn and the lady that taught me was very thorough and understood my skill level perfectly and tailored the lesson to that fact.

Lynne Maddox Mar 2023


The teacher Sue was very patient with this sewing machine novice. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and left with the confidence that I could use a sewing machine. The only decision left is which one. Sue explained the pros and cons of the machines I was interested in and I will be back to buy my final choice after payday Thanks Sue for a great session

The teacher Louise was excellent, explained about the machines I had and about the various types of mats and accessories. We did a couple of demos, one on the Cricut Mug press and one on the Cricut Maker 3 itself. The hour went so quickly.

Nikki Colley Feb 2023


I really enjoyed my session with Louise. As a complete beginner Louise showed me step by step how to set up my machine and basic stitches. I felt comfortable and able to ask as many questions as I needed. Other members of the team also asked me how I got on, and wished my the best with my new hobby
Thank you

My daughter had a brilliant time, learnt a lot and can’t wait to book another lesson again in your King’s Lynn store.

Emily Froud Feb 2023


I really enjoyed this class, it was small and close-knit (pun intended) and Sue was really helpful and patient with us.

Sharon Lawrence Feb 2023


Sue our teacher was very knowledgeable, she was patient and kind. The venue was good. Our crochet needle size did not match what was recommended on the wool they sent us but we managed. I have come away with knowledge of the basics.

Patricia Brooks Feb 2023


Very patient teacher. Ideal task for young children. The instructions were clear and materials easy to use.

Jo Rayner Feb 2023

Today’s overall experience was great!
My tutor, a lovely lady called, Sue, was so encouraging and helpful, she made me feel very comfortable and at ease.
She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions.
Even though my lesson took place on the shop floor, the way the store is laid out meant that I still felt comfortable in my surroundings.
I feel that this experience was fantastic value for money and I will definitely use it again in the future!
Thank you so much.

Felicity Gruneberg Feb 2023


My 15 year old daughter did this for a few tips to get her started with sewing. She loved it, found the instructor really helpful and we felt it was definitely worth paying for her to do.

Christine Heaphy Jan 2023


My tutor Louise was brilliant. She was very knowledgeable the area was great.
Louise showed me so many things and made it look so easy, I just hope that when I get my own its as easy as it seemed. Having this one to one tutorial has enforced my thoughts on purchasing my first cricut. It was definitely well worth the money as now I know what is achievable.

Diana Killens Jan 2023


The tutor was excellent, the venue suitable and considering I got a kit to bring home value for money. I just wished it had been two hours and not one, as we could have learnt more.

Holli Barber Jan 2023


This class was fantastic. Sarah was a brilliant teacher and I so enjoyed trying out a totally new craft.

The class was really good value for money too, and left me with enough paints and canvas to try out a few more times at home before committing to buying more materials (which I definitely will because acrylic pouring is such good fun!).

Thank you so much to Sarah for such a informative, enjoyable and fun class!

Eliza Rooney Jan 2023


Thank you for a fantastic one on one lesson to get started on our new sewing machine. Sue is an excellent teacher. My 10 year old daughter had never used a machine before left feeling confident & inspired.

Jessica Harper Jan 2023

Rachel Mace Jan 2023


It was a lovely guide for beginners to crochet and the box of provisions was great. Teacher was calm and friendly. Only removed a star because as they teacher agreed maybe classes could be smaller to allow all to progress at the same rate.

Eliza Rooney Jan 2023

Donna Burt Dec 2022


I booked my two daughters on the keyring workshop, never been to one before so wasn't sure what to expect but we were welcomed and greeted by the friendly teacher Louise.

Rattan Christmas Wreath Making Workshop review by Jessica Harper - Peterborough

Jane Smith Dec 2022


Louise was friendly patient. The girls really enjoyed making the Santa tree topper. Both girls went home proud of their makes.

Rachel Conroy Nov 2022


My Mum and I really loved the marble ceramic bauble workshop. Sarah W was really lovely, kind and patient. She explained everything really well and everything was presented in a beautiful box to take home and try out later. We loved how you could redo your Baubles the following year or add some gold paint to make them more to your liking. The process of how to create the marble effect was explained really well and very therapeutic to do. The class was done on the shop floor but tucked away so it still felt intimate. We loved the atmosphere with the must-have festive music and definitely will come back again next time. Thank you Sarah W for being amazing and we look forward to collecting our crafts once they are dry.

Really glad this type of workshop runs frequently, let’s hope this continues.

Tracey was excellent as always. I felt the class could’ve been a little longer as there was quite a lot to do to finish the project but we did finish just in time. Really pleased with how well our Poinsettias came out and look forward to making more at home. The materials supplied were excellent quality.

Debbie Perriss Nov 2022


Louise H, was an excellent teacher. She went through the overall workings of the Cricut Joy and then asked me what I wanted out of the machine and went through each step in detail. Then I was encouraged to have a go. I didn't feel rushed at all.
Louise H was very knowledgeable and a lovely person. Thank you.

We were supplied with an excitingly big hobbycraft box of two balls of quality arran wool, crochet hook and instructions all beautifully packed in tissue paper. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and definitely would recommend it.

A really enjoyable fun workshop. I would definitely recommend this workshop for beginners wanting to experiment with Acrylic pour. Sarah is an excellent tutor and was able to demonstrate many different techniques.

Susan Tabor Oct 2022


Very enjoyable workshop. The kit provided was good quality. The only down point was wire cutters were needed to cut artificial foliage. Only one set was available for group.
I was pleased with finished wreath, and will definitely be coming back for more workshops.

Dawn Shipp Oct 2022


Excellent value for money. Helpful staff. Children thoroughly enjoyed it. Pumpkin looked good. We all liked.

Frederica Baxter Oct 2022


As a bigginer to sewing this introduction to the machines, threads, materials was so beneficial. Sue my teacher was kind, patient very knowledgeable and listened to all my questions and concerns.
She put me through the steps to thread the machine and practiced a few lines of stitching. I also had a simple project which sue quided me to the correct material to use and advice to get me started.
I will be going back for a second lesson, I found it so useful using their different machines to get an idea of which make i will purchase.

Julie Bacon Oct 2022


I was the only one on the course. I was a complete beginner, which I was told is fine. Because of this it turned in to a learn to crochet course. The teacher was very good, and extremely patient. I learnt a lot and am now at home practising.

Nadine Chennells Oct 2022

Sarah Ballard Oct 2022


I went on a sewing workshop with Sue. Sue was very helpful, being a complete novice, the idea of touching a sewing machine was quite nerve wracking. Sue explained things very clearly and was patient with me. I can’t wait to book another sewing workshop.

Morgana Lennon Oct 2022

Louise, extremely knowledgeable, patient, was my one to one teacher.
Not knowing anything about the maker 3, I was shown in simple terms what could be achieved.
Vinyl and infusible ink were supplied.
A great work shop run by a fun teacher at King's Lynn. Fantastic!

Helen Ferguson Sep 2022


The hour went so quickly! Sue was a patient, helpful teacher. Learnt lots of little tips etc, which as a beginner was very helpful to me. She also helped me work out just what my expectations should be at my level. Will definitely be booking to go back again soon.
Would be helpful to have some of these classes during the week rather than just at weekend.
Thanks!

Sharon Foster Sep 2022


Sue was warm and very welcoming. She had things all prepped and ready to go. She is very patient and attentive to detail. Fantastic value for money. I've already rebooked and will be making it a regular in my diary.

Mahala Sep 2022


I got my daughter this workshop because she wanted a sewing machine for Christmas but had never used one before upon approaching Hobbycraft to buy the sewing machine I was asked if I would like to book a lesson first so I did book a lesson of course for my daughter and that was today. Sue was the teacher and she was wonderful very pleasant lady who has a whole wealth of knowledge about sewing and sewing machines. My daughter was taught step-by-step how to set up the sewing machines and also did a driving test fabric which was lines squares and circles. All explanations and questions were answered by Sue it was very easy and she thoroughly enjoyed the lesson so I think I’m going to have to now buy her a sewing machine thanks Hobbycraft

Kristie Foreman Aug 2022


Great starter kit, clear instructions and a wonderful teacher who was very patient with me

Kelly Christie Aug 2022


The teacher was amazing, helpful and with plenty of knowledge. The material was amazing. The course was tough for a beginner but by the end, I felt more confident. A follow up session or drop in clinic would be good for these courses would be good and products could be upsold too during these visits, or new courses could be suggested.

Kelly Howlett Aug 2022


Sarah w was really good explained everything well and demonstrated the technique as well. The canvas, paints and painting accessories were really good Sarah also showed how the different things made different shapes, she also showed how to add extra details once the painting had been finished. My daughter had great fun and really enjoyed it.

Great materials provided. Sarah W was a great tutor giving lots of advice and support for improvement once we got going. The hour sped past as we chatted and practised. A very enjoyable workshop!

Elizabeth Summers Aug 2022


it was a super fun workshop! the lady running it was really nice, and the clay was easy to handle and didn't stick to your hands or any surfaces. youre not restricted in how many you can make, either: it's just as many as you want to make/can make in the time! definitely recommend!

Michelle Hanslip Aug 2022


Fantastic workshop. It was my first time using a sewing machine, everything was explained so well, I now can't wait to get started and know if I need any support I could happily come back.

Emma Doggett Aug 2022


Took my 2 boys 5yrs and 9yrs to the fossil making session. Tracey was super helpful and they engaged well with her. She suggested ideas and helped them make their fossils.
The session was goosed, would've been nice to have had more colours to model with! I think it was worth the money and the boys had fun

Patricia Brooks Aug 2022


The teacher was exceptionally helpful, patient and enthusiastic with my two grandchildren (aged 7 and 4). She could not have been nicer! Thank you. I’m afraid I only remember that her surname starts with ‘w’!

Natalie Bull Jul 2022


Both my girls had a lovely time making sea creatures from air drying clay. Teacher was lovely. Will definitely be booking more craft sessions.

Mr Knights Jul 2022


Decided to take the class before I purchased a circuit 3 vinyl cutter. Louise was very helpful in explaining the process as to my specific needs. The venue and materials used were great. It was a great session, so much so, I purchased a printer as I left. Can't say more than that really, expect Lousie was was super helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. A happy customer.

Dominic Burke Jul 2022


It was a good introduction to cricut. The trainer was patient and knowledgeable. I did struggle to concentrate at times as the till was very close. Although i realise the training had to be where the machines are.

Hayley Slaven Jul 2022


Louise was a lovely person to spend some time with, despite not using the joy before. She was let down a bit by the machines not pairing but Jenna got that fixed. I felt £15 was a bit steep for the couple of questions i had, but i did learn about the infusible ink art that i had no idea about which was great.

Renate Harris Jul 2022


It was lovely having someone there as you learn. Tips are given and questions answered.

Joanne Lovegrove Jul 2022


Just had my lesson, im a complete novice and was very unsure how to start a pattern, I was shown the ropes and given assistance to get started, tips on how to achieve the end result and a few niggles i have been having with my machine resolved.
Really good lesson, friendly and welcoming and so supportive, good knowledge and i now feel ready to go for it
Thank you so much, without your help i would probably have packed the machine away and not carried on

Sravanthi Pasapula Jul 2022

Jennifer Irving Jun 2022


Sue O was fantastic at my one to one sewing machine workshop. Was patient and methodical working through the basics of setting up and running the machine, as well as what to look out for and maintenance, which is what I had requested for my course. Covered everything I had asked for and more. Even advised on suitable needles and threads for the machine, as well as ideal scissors for fabric cutting. Had been given a Hobbycraft 19s machine but had zero clue what I was doing, so Sue was literally a godsend! Can not recommended this course enough.

Fiona Ferguson Jun 2022


Sarah W was wonderful - warm, friendly and helpful. The kit provided was lovely and the paint pouring was such fun

Allison Atkins Apr 2022


I took my four young children (ages 7, 6, 6, and 2) to the Paint Your Own workshop run by Michele. They were allowed to pick out their own item to paint which was extra exciting for them! Michele was very encouraging and full of praise for the work my children did, and when my autistic son said he'd prefer a bigger paint brush Michele was on it; she found him a selection of brushes and prevented a meltdown. She was so friendly and helpful. Wonderful customer service and value for money. I am truly impressed. We will definitely return for more workshops in the future!

Natasha Weller Apr 2022


Sarah was very good with the girls, when they ran out of supplies she got a colleague to get more. Will deff be booking more workshops.

Charlotte Sinclair Mar 2022


The teacher Sue was lovely really friendly, informative and helpful. Sue showed me how to get the sewing machine set up and then I practiced different sewing stitches on some fabric provided at the lesson. I was also shown how to do reverse stitching and sewing in a square. I think the class was really helpful for a beginner and good value for money. I will be booking another one on one sewing class soon!

My daughter enjoyed her cricut lesson and has now learned enough to come home and start making her own crafts. The lady was very welcoming and put my daughter at ease. Would definitely recommend.

Emily Passmore Feb 2022


Fantastic lesson from a very knowledgeable tutor. My daughter is fully enthusiastic to put the lessons into practice. The lesson covered the machine setup and basic techniques.

Sarah Turner Feb 2022


Materials provided were good. The venue was good.
The instructor, Tracey, was patient, welcoming, knowledgeable about crochet and friendly.

Sarah Goodchild Feb 2022


The bunting is too complicated for absolute beginners to master in a short time. After an hour I gave up as it was just too frustrating. The teacher tried her best, bless her, but I simply couldn’t get the hang of it. She even tried a granny square but even that wasn’t working. The teacher was enthusiastic about her craft and clearly jolly good at it but I’m not! Crochet isn’t for me.

Charlotte Doughty Feb 2022


Tracy was such a great teacher and very patient. I really enjoyed the class and would definitely book another in the future. A fun end to my work day!

Jo Moss Feb 2022


I had never done the paint pouring before. Sarah W was an excellent tutor and I was lucky to have a one to one lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and shall definitely do more of these pictures so shall be buying more supplies. The lesson was great value considering I will end up with two completed pictures and the set that will be able to be used for many more.

Excellent teacher. Most problems answered. Slight problem with missing pen holder on machine. Venue good but noisy when helium balloons being filled within 2 metres

Victoria Bray Jan 2022


I went along with my laptop and sadly the lady taking the course had never worked on a laptop with Cricut Access etc before so we were both learning what to do. I think the staff should be fully trained on all equipment that the app works on. I don't have a tablet so I didn't want to use the tablet format in the shop. This is an over site of the training and needs to be rectified, thus I didn't feel the got value for money I am afraid.
Thanks
Vicky

Excellent, knowledgeable teacher. Sarah W went through everything, knew the answers to our questions and got us involved with the session. Really useful and great as it was just myself and my wife so really involved and hands on.

Diane Redman Dec 2021


The class was fun. The member of staff was brilliant with the children. There were 2 children with additional sensory needs and a toddler. The teacher was wonderfully calm and helpful. The class was excellent value for money. I would have happily paid more for the activity. The activity lasted an hour and that was perfect.

Allison Fry Dec 2021


Sarah W was very knowledgeable and was very friendly she explained very concisely and I left with a lot more information on the Cricut Joy and would look at doing other workshops with the staff at Hobbycraft

Hollie Little Dec 2021


Amazing
Sue (Kings Lynn branch) was so good.
I booked this for my daughters 12 birthday with 3 of her friends (4 in total)
She was amazing with them, patient, explained well what they had to do and really helped them along the way.
We found our at the end of the session it was Sue’s birthday and the girls were thrilled they got to do it with her on her birthday.
The box was great, one didn’t have the pens, but they got some off the shelf for us. It was good good quality and perfect for the job.
I will most definitely be recommending the work shop to friends and family.
Please give our thanks to Sue. She did such a good job.

Brush Lettering Christmas Ceramics Workshop review by Hollie Little - Peterborough

Michele Lamti Nov 2021


Sue O. was our teacher and was very patient and talented! We've brought home all of our ornaments and plan to do all the techniques she taught us. Thank you!

Paula Guggiari Nov 2021


Once again, great one to one sewing workshop.
Friendly, informative instructor.
Good value for money.

Joe Marston Nov 2021


My instructor was awesome. She explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions easily. She put me very at ease and made me much more comfortable using my sewing machine. I will highly recommend this class and the instructor to others. Extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Bill Lodge Nov 2021


Well presented - informal but flexible and covered the main points.
Demo length about right - longer and we'd be struggling to find questions.

Susan Mills Nov 2021


Me and my sister thoroughly enjoy the workshop. The teacher was good as she stepped at the last moment to do it. Very pleased with the end result.

Mary Lowson Nov 2021


Very good as there was only 2 of us so teacher could concentrate. Would do another one in future

Rachel Fellows Nov 2021


The tutor on the workshop was very friendly and knowledgeable, the venue was clean and well organised. My workshop box was full of the resources we needed to make 8 decorations along with paint, pens and lettering sheets, the workshop gave us the knowledge to practise the lettering to a higher standard. The tutor gave us encouragement that it would get easier. I believe the price l paid for the workshop was worth every penny and l would definitely attend further workshops in the future.

Michele Lamti Nov 2021


Tracey is an amazing lady and perfect pick to teach this class! I think I can safely say that I'll be able to talk my husband into taking another class with me!

Heather Foulger Nov 2021


The teacher I had was very informative explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. I was very impressed.

Susan Mills Nov 2021


Brilliant and fun class. Sue our teacher was so friendly and encouraging. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere. The time passed very quickly as we were having so much fun. The workshop was good value for money. There was plenty of material to do the workshop and to continue at home. I would highly recommend the workshop to anyone and I have learn lots of new technicals.

Judith Todd Nov 2021


A lovely workshop with just two other people so plenty of one to one if needed. Pleased with my wreath and have now bought some ribbon just to finish it off.

Emma Batey Nov 2021


The teacher was very helpful and kept us all engaged. The area we were working in was very easy to access. The actual class was fun and I feel I have achieved something.

Hayley Weekes Nov 2021


Teacher was very good very satisfied with class and taking away the left overs great

Andrew Barton Nov 2021


What a fantastic crafting session.

At £20 this is SUPERB value for money.
It was my first crafting session at Hobbycraft but will definitely not be my last.
THANK YOU SUE

Christmas Clay Star Workshop review by Andrew Barton - Peterborough

Lisa Ibrahim Nov 2021


The shop looked lovely, Katie was very informative, her knowledge for the cricut machine was spot on, she answered all my questions with ease and made me feel very comfortable with the idea of getting one. I can't wait for my hubby to buy me one for Christmas now

Estee Crane Nov 2021


Receiving the box full of goodies, so beautifully packed was such a huge treat. Fantastic value for money. The lady presenting the workshop was lovely and very helpful. As I work from home it was just good for my mental health to get out and do something I enjoy in a relaxed environment. Well done Hobbycraft, ten out of ten.

Steffi Saira Nov 2021


Sue was absolutely wonderful. As I had clue about stitching, she helped me and valued my interest made the class more interesting.

Natasha Weller Nov 2021


Shop staff very friendly and welcoming,
Workshop week run,nice small group,plenty of supplies.will definitely go again,

Charlotte Fensom Nov 2021


The lady taking the class was very nice and friendly but she didn’t know until her shift started that she was doing the class, so had no real preparation. This was by no means her fault as she hadn’t had time to prepare.

Lauren Roberts Oct 2021


The teacher was amazing! We had the freedom to create our own individual designs. Really well organised! Would definitely try another workshop.

Anabelle Martin Oct 2021


The lady who ran the workshop was very good, she helped Anabelle and was friendly.

Dawn Uttin Oct 2021


Was really well done friendly and helpful grandchildren of various ages had a great time Thankyou

Linda Bone Oct 2021


Sarah W taught me and she was absolutely lovely, she was patient and knowledgeable in the things I wanted to learn. I couldn't understand how to make a picture and she explained that you layer your colours, she went through iron on transferring, using the pens and using the programs to make things. Such a lot of different things which I wasn't expecting, I assumed i'd have to book more courses. I will book another later when I've experimented at home to learn about foiling etc.

Nicola Cooper Oct 2021


Great! My daughter and her cousin thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was special for them to do painting in the shop. Excellent value for a lovely novelty.

Nicole Witton Oct 2021


Sarah W was teaching. The class was autumn wreath making. Worth all the money paid. Enjoyed it so much. Sarah was very good, clear instructions and very patient.
Only one suggestion it was great doing the class in the shop, but Sarah kept getting interrupted by other customers

Jenny Webb Oct 2021


First time I’ve done anything like this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The lady hosting the session was fabulous. So friendly, welcoming and encouraging. And the end result was beautiful which surprised me for a first attempt. Would definitely do other workshops on the basis of this one.

Briony Roper Oct 2021


Sue lovely, patient and went over instructions until I was confident .
Highly recommend very informative

Paula Underwood Oct 2021


Loved learning a new skill.
Brush lettering once the basics are mastered is quite therapeutic. The kit provided is also very nice and who doesn't love new pens. Looking forward to putting it into practice now.

Michele Lamti Oct 2021


Did the autumn wreath class. Everything was absolutely amazing! The class was fun and relaxed, Sue Rix was the teacher and she was down to earth, relatable and really good at her job and a lot of fun to learn from. 10/10 would recommend

Daisie Buxton Oct 2021

Sarah White Oct 2021


Sarah was lovely, friendly and helpful. She made me feel at ease asking questions, demonstrated the product well and gave me confidence to go away and try it out myself after letting me try it in store. I would have liked more time to try a few different techniques.

Samantha Simper Oct 2021


Sue was a excellent teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the class (2hours). It’s given me confidence to use my sewing machine.

Toni Blackwell Oct 2021


Very helpful friendly staff very pleased with what I have learned today will be booking more classes

Paula Guggiari Oct 2021


One to one sewing was with Sue O.
She greeted me on time with a smile.
Sue went through basics of sewing machine slowly and clearly . She asked me if I had any questions and answered them in a clear way I could understand.
Would book a class again and hope they continue to be accessible thought the year.

Luiza Modrzejewska Oct 2021


Absolutely loved the workshop, the teacher was great, very patient, supportive, easy to talk to. Had two hours one to one lesson and planning to book another one :). Thank you

Luiza Modrzejewska Sep 2021


Great, very patient teacher. Learnt basics skills on my new sewing machine. Will definitely come back for more lessons.

Jackie Bell Sep 2021


As a Complete novice I enjoyed the experience. The teaching was very good. I felt that it helped although I also felt more time was needed. I was worried when I realised I would be on public display whilst doing my one to one but was so engrossed I soon forgot my surroundings. The advice given was useful. The staff all very friendly and the class was good value for money, I would definitely recommend.

Jane Smart Sep 2021


Sue was lovely and very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Will be back for more workshops.

Samantha White Aug 2021


Brilliant workshop. Sue O gave me a step by step guide on how to set up and use my machine. I was very nervous and didn’t have a clue what to do, I am now feeling confident enough to try a project on my own. Thanks Sue

Terenia Skevington Aug 2021


Katie my tutor was great. She clearly explained how to use my Cricut Air2. I chose a design and we discussed how to transfer lettering onto glass and fabric. The course was really useful and has given me confidence to use my machine.

Beth Leckenby Aug 2021


The teacher was really helpful and talked me through everything I needed help with. As well as show me how to do everything that I could need.

Jane Kendle Aug 2021


Great help from the ladies. Lovely being so close so not having to worry about travelling.
I am a beginner with machine issues and by the end I could follow guides for squares and circles and got my machine working. Really enjoyable, highly recommend. Would happily book another appointment.
Thank you Janine and Jayne

Samantha Jay Aug 2021


My two daughters really enjoyed the acrylic painting class. They learnt how to use the paints and how to paint flowers in perspective which was great. The tutor was engaging and friendly, the other staff we spoke to were friendly too. The store was lovely and open, and the class was arranged in the middle. With the materials included to take home, I think this is good value for money and we can't wait to book more!

Maria Day Aug 2021


The brilliant lesson with a lovely teacher , my little daughter enjoyed it very much ! Maria
