Thank you for a great lesson. The instructor was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. It was at exactly the right pace and I am away feeling much more confident. I can’t wait to get started!

Jason Morris Apr 2024


The class was great, just what I needed to set me up on my crochet journey. Ciara (I hope I spelt that right) was so patient and a really good teacher. She spent time demonstrating again and again with a big smile on her face. The materials were good, the time flew by. I would recommend the class to anyone wanting to learn crochet. It’s a great starting point. Thank you Hobbycraft.

Sue Forth Apr 2024


No improvement needed. Chiara was a fantastic tutor. Very knowledgeable and had lots of patience with us novices

Oludoyinsola Olaniyan Apr 2024


Warm and welcoming tutor.
They provided all that we needed for the class with printed out guides as well.
It was a good foundation and I look forward to my crochet journey

Diane Ford Apr 2024


We were only people there but my granddaughter enjoyed making the monsters but she does prefer company she's hoping you do a workshop about princesses or fairies maybe a windchime

Kerry Russell Apr 2024


I (Rhys) really enjoyed the session and I'll be very interested in something similar in the future.
I can now make more pipe cleaner flowers and make a bouquet at home or for family members.

Kirsty Smith Apr 2024


My son always enjoys these workshops he even if he is sometimes the only one booked into the session.

Diane Chappell Apr 2024


Was very helpful and we managed to create the project in 2 hours, Recommend you give staff better iPad as it was so slow it took extra time for lovely lady to show me how to do it

Laura Wells Apr 2024


Great session, my daughter loved it. Will book on for more of these sessions for sure

Sarah Tilman Apr 2024


Helpful and friendly instructor, great session, no pressure to finish within the half an hour. Lovely to be able to join in with our children to help. Would highly recommend and likely to book other workshops in the future, especially as they feel good value for money.

It was my daughter's first experience of sewing using a machine. She really enjoyed. Kate was very patient and lovely. Great experience for my daughter.

Megan Mawer Apr 2024


It was a lovely session where we used materials we’ve never used before (we even bought some after the class to take home). The staff member was so lovely and full of great advice. I highly recommend.

Sue Kew Apr 2024


Sml class which was good. My twin grandsons loved it! Will certainly bring them to more classes.

Dominique Mar 2024


I booked the workshop for my 12 year old daughter so she could get started on her new sewing machine. Kate the instructor was lovely, so patient and knowledgeable. She explained steps really clearly and/or showed them where needed. We came away from the sessions feeling confident we can get started.

Michelle Paffey Mar 2024


Had a great lesson with Kate who showed me how to prepare the sewing machine and taught me all the workings of the machine and let me practice all the various stictches. She also taught me how to read and cut a pattern.
Venue was great, good value for money, really enjoyed practicing with the machine and finally Kate was a great Teacher ⭐️

Sharon Laryea Mar 2024


Bought a private workshop for my mum and I as a gift for her birthday. Chiara was fabulous throughout. We were given a kit to work with and take home, which mum was over the moon with not knowing what to expect. Time flew by and with it just being two of us we got plenty of one to one attention - great value for money. Chiara really made it though - she’s got endless patience and clear communication skills.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Enjoyed the whole experience - and the trainer was lovely and she was very patient and helpful :)

Rosie Hallatt Mar 2024


The lady running the session was very friendly and was brilliant at working with people going at different paces to make sure that everyone was able to keep progressing at their own pace. She was very very encouraging and made the session really fun - thank you! Really great to go away with everything we need to practise including hook, yarn and visual diagrams and step by step instructions of what we learnt! Fantastic!

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


All materials were provided and instructions given. However there was only one glue gun that the instructor could use which wasn’t in the craft area. So most of the hour was spent waiting to get your hat glued. My daughter was starting to get fed up with waiting to do her hat.

Carmela Sessa Mar 2024


I enjoyed it very much. Everything was explained in such a simple way and accurate.

Karen Goodson Mar 2024


Loved my lesson, was very helpful and informative.
Has enabled me to move on with my project.

We want advise on how to access the circut App, and we where given a comprehensive lesson on how to get in. Also had advise on the differing materials you can use.

Gabrielle de La Rua Mar 2024


Kate was wonderful! She explained all basics about the cricut design space and took all my doubts about the tools, papers, etc! I love it! At home, I made my first projects on the same day!

Alexandra Powell Mar 2024


Sewing lesson for my 13 year old daughter as a Christmas present and she absolutely loved it. Kate was a wonderful teacher and my daughter was able to create exactly what she wanted with Kate’s knowledge! We will be back :)

Coz Mar 2024


I came in with my mum today to do a sewing workshop. Kate was absolutely fantastic from start to finish she answered all my questions and showed me how to do a button hole and invisible zip with ease and even gave me some tips on other things Well worth the money, and I want to thank Katie for her patience and expertise

Debbie Feb 2024


Simple, friendly workshop. Definitely better that there were only two children on the workshop in order to share the beads. My five year old daughter seemed to enjoy it so worth the money for something different to do.

Polly Feb 2024


We had a lovely time at the workshop and the children loved the rainbows they created. The teacher was really friendly and helpful.

Lynda Hubbard Feb 2024


I had a one to one knitting class with Sherran, at the Peterborough Brotherhood store, she was very helpful, very patient, and explained things clearly, I will be booking another class in the future.

Kate was great. She was very knowledgable. My daughter felt at ease and understood everything that was being said and the demo was brilliant. A very happy child. We will be buying the equipment needed due to the visit. Kate is an asset to you business

Brooke Feb 2024


Fantastic session, Kate was really patient with my 7 year and showed her how to make bags and scrunchies with her new machine

Michelle Medson Feb 2024


Really lovely young woman giving tutoring. Really supportive and patient. It took me a lot longer to pick up the very basics than the other person in the class but I wasn't made to feel less important. The time flew by. Could have done with longer, to practice more. A little expensive for 1.5hrs but better learning face to face than online and provided with a hook and 2 balls of yarn.Convenient location.

Malcolm Deal Feb 2024


Excellent teacher was brilliant would not hesitate to recommend thank you very much indeed Malcolm

Valerie Pepper Feb 2024


The teacher i had was absolutely great. she made it easy to understand and told me to ask if I didnt understand anything.
I had purchased a new Sewing Machine and wanted to know what all the different things did and what they were for. She went through each one and we used them on their machine which helped enormously.
The venue was excellent. This was at Hobbycraft in Peterborough, Brotherhoods.
What I liked most - the whole experience. Would definitely recommend it to anyone and it was definitely value for money.

Jane Press Jan 2024


Amazing I've left confident in knowing how to use my machine and I'm a first time machine owner!

Anonymised ClassBento student Jan 2024


The Beginners Crochet session with Chiara was super. She patiently took us through three basic stitches with very clear instructions and demonstrations. Chiara is very warm, friendly and smiley, and really encouraged us throughout. Thank you, Chiara!
Would recommend, without hesitation.

Lisa Ward Jan 2024


Kate provided all the information I asked for. Kate was polite, helpful, professional, explained well, checked my understanding. Would recommend and use again. Left store feeling really happy. Thank you

Emily Walker Dec 2023


Kate is an amazing teacher, very patient and thorough with me as a beginner despite her expertise. I’m looking forward to tackling my sewing project now, previously it had gone so wrong I considered giving up, but her positivity is infectious!

Martha Saralis Dec 2023


I booked this session for my 10 year old daughter to learn how to use her cricut joy. Kate explained everything really clearly and then helped us to decide on which other materials to buy. My daughter spent the rest of the day practicing everything that she was taught. Thank you Kate!

Jacqui Trayford Dec 2023


Kate was a great at teaching us how to set up the machine. Her tone and pace was just right.
She explained all the different stitches and my daughter got to have a go at all the ones she wanted to.
Will be back!

Both my children (3 & 5) loved this workshop with Chloe. They made two decorations, a painted bauble and a button Christmas tree. No doubt they will be on our tree for years to come.

Helen Kelly Dec 2023


The resin coaster course run by Heidi was thoroughly enjoyable. The venue was perfect, the size group was ideal to feel like you had personal attention. I can't wait to collect the coaster once it has set and am excited about the other resin courses I can do

Pottery class review by Charlotte Spanswick - Peterborough

Karen Stone Dec 2023


I feel the tutor should have practiced a bit more or had a bigger vessel for dunking. She said that the large bauble was a bit big to submerge & that you could turn it around to do the bottom. However when I tried this it got stuck!

Sarah Horton Dec 2023


We had a fab time at the bauble workshop. The assistant was lovely and engaged with the children well. All the fun without having to fully tidy up the mess. We asked for a private session as we had 5 wanting to attend and they were really accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed

Thank you.

Nigel Chapman Nov 2023


What a great experience! Kate was wonderful. She covered all the basics as needed,. Informative and full of knowledge which was totally understandable.
I was amazed how much I learnt in what seemed to be minutes instead of the full hour so had lots of hands on experience too. I would thoroughly recommend a sessionI'll definitely be back for more.
Many thanksnext stop London Fashion Week!

Lesley Harper Nov 2023


The teacher was very good . I Had taken 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 6 . She was very helpful and patient.

I had a workshop with Kate on the Janome sewing machine which I was interested in purchasing. Kate was absolutely fantastic. She went through everything with me and we did some practice sewing. Really impressed and I did buy the sewing machine and really looking forward to using it. Also Kate said if there were any questions or problems to go back to her which is fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.

My friend and I really enjoyed the beginners crochet class at Peterborough with the lovely Ciara. She was really helpful and patient, teaching us the basic stitches to start crocheting. The products provided were of a nice quality and the whole experience was great value for money. We will definitely return to learn more.

Jenny Exton Nov 2023


Kate was brilliant she did loads of the work for me as I have arthritis but asked me how I wanted the items on the frame. I enjoyed the time but I didn't really think it was real value for the money. Would choose a different type next time

Tracey Shepherd Nov 2023

Fabulous experience. My tutor Chiara was very knowledgeable, she listened to my problems, (stitch identification and making a neat circle) and demonstrated how to do them.
She then watched, advised, helped whilst I tried myself. The wool was a very good quality and I was allowed to take samples home for reference

Gayle Oct 2023


Kate was my daughter’s sewing lesson teacher, she was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable & was able to explain simply enough for my 12 year old what she needed to do to complete what she had been working on. My daughter left very happy, she had completed her pillow & had learnt how to attach zips She is looking forward to practice her new skills at home but will definitely be back for further lessons with Kate.

The teacher was very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable.
I have learnt quite a few things to try at home, especially slicing and flattening on the Cricut Design Space.
I would definitely book a one to one workshop again, good value for the money.

April Slack Oct 2023


Very friendly and patient. Lovely bag with all needed to start crocheting. I left the class being able to crochet, I just need to practice ALOT
I would be interested in other classes, as I was a little nervous at what to expect, but I was put at ease and throughly enjoyed myself.

Teresa Oct 2023


My teacher Kate was fantastic. She was kind and understanding and she helped me to complete my top pattern.
She gave good tips and how to finish my item so it looks professional and not homemade.
I had a good experience and the October discount was also a good benefit. Thank you Kate and Hobbycraft for making this a lovely experience. I shall definitely book again.
Many Thanks

Elizabeth Oldfield Oct 2023


Kate is an excellent teacher. As we went through the various stages of making a design she stopped, often, to make sure I understood each stage. Kate was thorough in ensuring that I understood all points of the various options in each process. While I am certain I will forget some details I feel Kate has given me a very good grounding on which I can build. Thank you Kate, I really enjoyed your tutorial.

Carol Davison Oct 2023


Great 121 session with Kate, I don't have a cricut yet so this session was to establish what I can use it for and which was the best machine to get. I'm glad I had the chance to talk through before making my decision.

I went as a complete beginner and have left knowing a couple of stitches and with the confidence to actually have a go and make something simple.

Angela Scott Sep 2023


Chiara was just brilliant
Very friendly and explained things really well
She kept reassuring me and I thoroughly enjoyed the class
The only down side was the location of the table
In the centre of the shop
People kept coming up to ask for help on the shop floor, one woman was starting to be a bit stroppy that no one was available
Obviously staff have to be polite but I didn’t so just told her to go the the sales desk and pointed out I had paid for the tutorial so it was my time with the assistant, not hers
Loved the supplies provided
Will definitely book another

Kate was lovely and explained everything to the girls. I did think the class was pretty steep for £8 though when they are usually £5. The only equipment needed was a cup, some wool and 4 beads so seems very over priced. £16 for 2 pen pots!

Natasha Pignatiello Aug 2023


Lovely teacher and my 9 year old has come away with a little bag and much better understanding of how to use her sewing machine!

Had a good session with Beginners Arcylic Paint pouring yesterday afternoon.
Definitely will be a craft that I will be continuing.
Instructor was good, but the hour just meant we had limited time to experiment.
Venue: having the session in the middle of the shop is good for exposure to customers BUT we did get interrupted a few times for other reasons as no other member of staff seem to be available.
As I paid for individual session I would have preferred a more uninterrupted experience.
Look forward to collecting my "dried" creations and to taking up the craft in earnest.
Thank you.

Georgie Colless Aug 2023


Kate is brilliant she helped me with all the bits I needed help with my quilting projects and explained everything really well so that I could understand.
This is my 2nd lesson with Kate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bought some nice Disney fat quarter bundles too which are lovely.
Thanks Kate xx

Dawn Southerton Jul 2023


Excellent 1-2-1 class - focussed on exactly what I needed to know with a knowledgeable expert. Good value for money as the 1-2-1 aspect meant I wasn’t paying for anything I already knew - also the time of an hour was just about right. I will definitely be attending another further down the line when I have taken on more ambitious projects.

Sammy-Jo Austin Jul 2023


Lovely session, children could be as creative as they like. Great instructions when needed given in a friendly manner.

Sarah Moffatt Jul 2023


Helpful teacher. All materials provided. A chance for kids to be creative making up their own ideas of following a design.

Jo Young Jul 2023


Fantastic! The teacher was really calm and encouraging but let the children use their imagination. The clay was so lovely to work with - we bought lots to take home! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Gabriella Potter Jul 2023


My 1:1 Cricut experience was extremely enjoyable. Kate was very helpful and knowledgable about all things Cricut and was excellent at teaching us different things on the machine. Both myself and my friend learned lots, from using simple cutting skills to making personalised stickers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a Cricut machine, whether you’re new to it or experienced, you can always learn something new from others!

Mandy Hazell Jul 2023


Did the Beginners Crochet course, x 6 people. Personally, I thought that the wool was a good choice and nice colours, and the canvas bag was a nice touch. I thought i would do this course because when i learnt to knit at the beginning of the year on my own, i found it a struggle at times, and wished there had been somewhere to go, to learn the basics. Our tutor was excellent, I can only say that she was soooo helpful - explaining in easy to understand detail, which was exactly what was needed by pretty much all of us, whilst keeping the lesson light and jovial. She made me feel totally at ease, and I now feel able to go online with more confidence about what I'm doing. She somehow managed to divide her time to help each of us individually, as well as a group, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and felt that it was good value for money.

Shelley Jones Jul 2023


Just attended the Beginner’s Crochet Workshop and can definitely recommend it if you are a complete beginner. Chiara was very helpful and patient, and did really well with her first larger class. Only 5 of us so nice small class. Materials were really nice and good quality. The hour and a half flew by. Feel I have learnt the basics to now progress at home.

Alisha Ghazanfer Jul 2023

Kate demonstrated the free quilting technique and was most encouraging. During the session she explained clearly what equipment we needed and how to set up the machine. With Kaye's tips we came away with our first attempt at free quilting and wanting to experiment further.

Alison Holmes Jul 2023


Really enjoyed the workshop, learnt lots of new things. We only had basic knowledge of software now more confident in what we can do with it, based around what we want to use it for. Highly recommend.

Laura Pummell Jul 2023


Being an absolute beginner I was a little apprehensive but the teacher put me at ease and taught me some great basic skill to get me going and give me confidence. Looking forward to booking some more lessons soon!

Kate was very encouraging and the pace was just right

I felt very confident at the end of the session to purchase a sewing machine and make a start

Will definitely use this service again as I progress

Kate taught me in my lesson and I wanted help to learn more about patchwork quilting and squares. Kate was very knowledgeable and taught me some quick tips too.
Highly recommend a one on one class to help you with your project.
Nice surroundings to work in …. So glad I didn’t bring my purse in lol I would have gone home with half of hobbycraft
Thank you Kate for the lesson - I’ll be back for another one soon ☺️

Again I learnt so much today. Kate is a wonderful teacher, so knowledgeable, so very kind and patient. It was a splendid and very worthwhile lesson.

Elaine Hickey Jun 2023


My first foray into machine sewing with Kate at Peterborough Hobbycraft. She was so patient, explaining everything clearly and simply. She encouraged me to have a go at each example. I now feel inspired and encouraged to make some children's clothing. The area was cool and comfortable and I wasnt made to feel like an idiot. Thank you Kate

Kate was the Perfect person for my needs.
I've been trying to get back into sewing for the past 18 months and just needed a little update on understanding tension and stitch length adjustments.
I was so previlaged to be able to use Kate's knowledge and experience in alternating patters to my size and best ways to increase existing dresses to fit my current size.
And she taught be some simple block pattern developement (I couldn't have learnt this from Youtube as this was my previous attempts) and how to use my French curve.
Definitely an hour very well spent. Thank you again Kate.

Katy was brilliant, and really put me at ease. I’ve been wanting to learn to sew for ever, and I was starting to think I just didn’t have any ability whatsoever but I’m feeling ready to start trying things now - I just need to decide which machine to go for….

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Clare Knibbs Jun 2023


My daughter really enjoyed her workshop this morning, learning how to use the sewing machine. The teacher was lovely and made may daughter feel very relaxed. The venue was perfect and lovely and quiet despite the shop being open.

Alice was so friendly and great with the kids, got some new gold paint when the one we were using went funny and was on hand with hints and tips for the kids and complimenting them for their designs.

Natalie McEnroe Jun 2023


I had a cricut workshop with Kate on the 2nd of june and she was absolutely fantastic. I didn't own a cricut machine at the time and really wanted to know how to use one. Kate literally went through everything from how to use the software i detail to having a go on the machine. Kate made everything seem easier than i was expecting. I highly recommend this workshop

James Constable Jun 2023


The teacher is called Alice, she was very helpful kind, patient and explained all the steps in creating our canvases. We had an hour but the enthusiastic artists were complete within the time which allowed time for the art work to dry. Better done with a grown-up to guide/ encourage as well as Alice. Messy but fun. All paint used washes off skin/ clothes but don't dress them in their Sunday best/ have a change of clothes after if you are going on somewhere else after. My two are 3 and 7, both enjoyed it. Would go again.

Thank you Kate

Hilary Shannon May 2023


Absolutely fantastic, I learnt so much.
Kate made it so easy and enjoyable. She is very patient and explained everything very clearly. It was excellent. Rushing home to put into practice, Will book another class very soon.

Emily Sas May 2023


It was really helpful and Katy ran through everything step by step with my son. She was very patient and he really enjoyed the session. She then ensured we had everything we needed to take the next steps.

My only comment would be that I thought I’d paid for 2 of us to do the workshop but only one of us was able to use the machine.

Catharine Seekings May 2023


A great teacher. I was taught what I wanted to know. Everything was there what was needed for the tutorial. The session went really fast and was enjoyable. I took some knowledge home with me. Now to play on my sewing machine and learn more

Isobel Bird May 2023


Kate was friendly, very knowledgeable and made the session a great learning experience. I didn't have a sewing machine - I have now!
We tried different techniques on the machine with Kate being very patient with me as well.

Julie Bull May 2023


Lady was brilliant so paitent and knowledgable well worth the money, thankyou please thank her again for me

Nuala Monks May 2023


I had a fantastic lesson this morning with Katie. Her knowledge of Cricut is fantastic and she was able to explain everything in a plain language which is really helpful when you doing something for the very first time. I would highly recommend Katie and will definitely be returning for more hints and tips. First Class all round

Orla Houston May 2023


Wonderful instructor with great enthusiasm. My daughter really enjoyed learning how to use a sewing machine.

Daniel May 2023


Kate is so experienced that I learnt the art of sewing in 1 hour.
It cost £20 only to gain so much knowledge in tailoring

Margaret O'Connell Apr 2023


Really helpful lady. Ensured I understood everything. I was able to practice lots of stitches. Good information about care of machine and all the pieces involved. Very good and helpful advice from Kate at Peterborough. Would totally recommend a class to anyone. Very enjoyable.

Molly Woodward Apr 2023


We had a class held by Kate and it was brilliant. It was really helpful to have a chance to be shown different features of the machine and App. The thing I found most helpful was having my questions answered there and then by someone with lots of experience. Kate really helped put out minds at ease and made the machine fun to use. We left feeling very confident and prepared to take on our project. Definitely good value for money and I wouldn't hesitate on booking another course if we expanded our project and got a different machine.

Jane Howland Apr 2023


Had a one to one with Kate today looking at a new sewing machine. Kate was great, welcoming & knowledgeable. She explained all about the machine & was patient whilst I tried all the functions.
I’m very impressed with the service on offer, the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff I encountered. Very refreshing.
Hugh thanks to Kate

Marie Cook Apr 2023


Kate was awesome, answered all my questions and I couldn't fault her knowledge, her teaching style or her enthusiasm she really was brilliant. The only thing that irritated me (and this was a store thing not a kate thing)was that I needed a rotary cutter for the cricut I purchased and peterborough doesnt stock them so i now have to order it on line. When you spend that much on a gadget you want all the toys on the day not three days later.

Anna Errico Apr 2023


Kate, the tutor was excellent, very knowledgeable and she was very kind, explained everything I needed to know, she answered all my questions and I got want I wanted from the one hour spent with her.

Carrie Sapstead Apr 2023


Our teacher Chloe was so lovely brilliant with our girls.
The air drying clay was great to work with and the work shop was fab. Both girls made a chick and a bunny.
Materials were all provided, colours weren't the colours maybe you'd usually pick for the animals but it made it more fun and made the creative flare of the girls come out.

Had a lovely time at the Easter course. Alice was a great teacher, very engaging and encouraging. She explained and demonstrated what to do, made suggestions of how different effects could be made. Used the ideas my son came up with on her decorations which he really liked. Would definitely book another coursed based on experience today.

I was a little disappointed in the stamps that were provided as they did not work especially well with the clay, we also expected some other stamps not just alphabet ones.

Would happily recommend the courses at Peterborough and highly recommend Alice as the teacher.

I thoroughly enjoyed my class at Hobbycraft tonight. My teacher was extremely nice, easy to get on with and very patient. I couldn’t have asked for better. I was taught basic crochet stitches in very good detail and the course was taken at a very relaxed speed.
I was astounded at the materials provided for my lesson which far exceeded my expectations. The other assistants in the shop stopped on their way by and asked how It was going which was also a lovely gesture I felt ver welcome. I was sorry when it was time to go home. Thank you for fulfilling one of my wishes.
No improvements needed.

The teacher did a great job at making this an enjoyable session. The three of us in our booking enjoyed ourselves and had fun learning something new. We were all happy with what we made and ended up buying more bits after to continue with at home. The staff were friendly and it was great value for money overall. It was a tad disorganised but I don't think that was necessarily any one persons fault. Overall happy we went and enjoyed ourselves.

Jacqui Coleman Nov 2022


She was lovely. My only criticism would be that we weren't really shown what to do. It was more a case of, here's the equipment, arrange the items before attaching them permanently and I'm here for advice. Otherwise it was great, really enjoyed it.

Great start to the festive season with a lovely little workshop that was perfect for those that are enthusiastic but not massively creative!

I will definitely go back to Cate again when I am ready for the next step.
5* Service.

I went in knowing nothing and came out confident that I could create the work I wanted to make. The Tutor (Pippa) was excellent and even gave me a run down of the positives and negatives of two machines, based upon the brief I left with the store Manager, to help me make the right selection. A really useful session and it gave me not only confidence to get started, but also confidence that I was buying the right machine for me.

Karen the teacher was brilliant, she took time to show us exactly how to hold the pen to get the strokes thick and thin. The course package had everything we needed and other types of brush lettering pens were also recommended, which we tried out before purchasing.
The course was held in the Peterborough Hobbycraft shop at the back so we weren't too disturbed.
Overall excellent quality thank you and looking forward to booking another course to try out.

Karen, as always, was an excellent tutor. She not only showed how the process went, but she also answed questions about infusable inks that were not anything to do with the mug press. Her knowledge of the subject is really good and she has given me the confidence to now go ahead and unpack my mug press and use it. ( it has been sitting in its box for about 6 months ). On leaving, Karen said that if I had any questions about the process or if I forget anything, to come by and ask her. She said that I was always welcome to pop in and ask questions and to bring in any mug that I make and show her. I left so full of confidence and ideas. As always 100%. Thank you Karen.

I'm sorry I cant remember her name as I'm not very good at names, but I was in the Peterborough store on the Brotherhood retail park.

Jill Adamson Jun 2022


The pattern is very poor. No visual pictures of each block or for the construction of each stitch. I shouldn’t have to go on Utube for instruction Especially as on front of pattern it says for beginners. So no purpose for the course.
Poor quality sewing needle and the snips were useless.
Will not be signing on for any further workshops

As always the staff were fantastic. Even though the machines decided to update just as we needed them, it was something out of their control, but they were great. Things happen that are out of our control sometimes and it's how the situation is dealt with. In this case all I can say is Karen was brilliant. I went knowing nothing and came out with the ability and confidence to now use my machine at home.
I can never find fault with any staff or the shop. 10/10 from me

Kids really loved doing this craft activity. Chloe was friendly and chatty and made the experience enjoyable. The materials were ok, glue gun for sticking would be better as the felt kept coming off.

Angela Mason Jun 2022


Thank you so much Chloe! We had the best time, and such a lovely craft for my three children to make for the Platinum Jubilee! Look forward to join more classes with you again.

Fantastic to learn a new skill in a supportive, friendly environment. Linda was lovely, with loads of crocheting experience and advice and most importantly loads of patience! Everything we needed was provided and the course ran over 6 weeks so I think it was reasonable value for money.

Admittedly,I was hesitant to spend this much money for a workshop but it was my 7year old’s wish for her birthday and it was well worth it. Peppa is an amazing teacher with a wealth of knowledge and lots of experience. She encouraged my daughter to try lots of different things and experiment (beyond the instructions on the box that is part of this workshop).Highly recommend this as an unforgettable experience to enjoy and continue doing at home.

I never thought I would be able to run with my dad love it love it live it

The pack of resources was beautifully wrapped and the wool is so colourful. It was great to be able to have the workshop in the privacy of the office. The tutor was so positive, enthusiastic, skilled and patient, and she gave me the confidence to have a go.

I would love to attend another beginners crochet workshop to build up my skills and improve my techniques. My goal is to be able to crochet flowers and a workshop on creating a simple flower would be fantastic.

Thank you.

Kate is a credit to not only herself but to Hobbycraft as a company. Thank you so much!

I was greeted today at your Peterborough store by Kate, whom I had a 1 to 1 with on beginner's guide to Cricut vinyl.
Where do I begin, from the minute we were at the Cricut desplay area Kate was so approachable with questions and helpful advice I had no idea about or even to ask. We finally got to the purpose which was, how to cut, stick, layer and the difference between the types of vinyls ( I was totally blown away by it) but so put at in the zone. Kate was never pushing or put me under any pressure at all. I learnt everything that I would have liked and even more. The hour flow past as we were both having a great time.
Very much worth every penny that the session cost. But I which that you could have a follow up session for us to share with the member of staff the great ideas and projects we have enjoyed making.
Just wish there was a 5* plus because I would have ticked it.

Kate was great in explaining how to do the things I needed. She was patient and showed me around a machine which was similar to mine thankfully. Would definitely use her again for advise. :-)

Point to note: booking says to NOT bring your machine, but was asked if I'd got mine with me. Needs to be more explanatory on whether you do need it or not.

Kirsten Parriss Dec 2021


My sister and I had a fantastic time at Hobbycraft Peterborough. Adele, the teacher, was friendly, funny and made the session really good fun. We were very proud of our cloches and loved that we were able to take our mini hot glue guns home with us!

Annabel Holland-Wing Dec 2021


I really enjoyed my one to one Cricut class with Kate. I found Kate to be extremely informative and she answered every single question I asked. I didn't have a machine and the reason for my visit was to see if it would do all the things I wanted before buying. After the class I went on to buy a Cricut Maker/Large press/Small press/tools and box of assorted items from yourselves. Totalling £550. I dare say that without the class with Kate I wouldn't have took the plunge! So credit to Kate ! :)

Stephen Rider Dec 2021


Kate was great she explained everything she was going to do before showing me. I now feel confident enough to go home and start having fun with my Cricut

Kate was really friendly and welcoming. She went through every and double checked I was getting everything she was discussing. She went through the items I would need for the projects I would like to do.
The venue was good, the only suggestion I would have would be for a sign to be put up as other customers sometimes looked like they wanted to ask questions.
