Daughter is 10 and we found the activity difficult so prob best not aimed at younger children. Daughter absolutely loved it and the teacher was lovely even though she had never made a flower before tried her best

We had a great time Easter bonnet making at Wigan store. Just one thing needed - an extension lead for the glue guns so we can use them properly :-)
Teacher was amazing, very calm and helpful to my 3 and 6 year olds.
Thank you so much we will be back time and time again for sure <3

Great workshop. We had an hour to create a easter bonnet. The children each had a range of equipment to use at their seats but were offered additional things if they needed it. They were guided on what they could do and the person offered support, help and praise throughout.

Booked a Cricut Workshop on a one to one with a member of staff. The lady's name was Dawn, she was very accommodating and friendly from the very start. She helps us so much! Nothing was too much trouble. The time went so fast, but we learnt lots in the time allocated. Thank you so much DAWN, I would highly recommend this work shop as it is tailored to your needs.

Ella ran our rainbow bead workshop on 24/02/24 at Wigan. We (F36, M53, M3 and M6) all had an equally great time and really enjoyed chatting and crafting in a lovely relaxed atmosphere.
Ella was friendly, approachable and very amenable to all of our requirements. The room was clean, tidy, fresh and fun with artwork completed by staff adorning the walls.
The workshop was excellent value and a great Saturday morning trip out. Thanks so much to Ella and the team <3

A lovely activity for young children. The workshop was well presented by Ella who was very friendly and patient with them all. The children were given time to count out their beads and no pressure on them to quicken up. Each child completed their rainbow and loved the experience of making something for themselves.

Poppy was a fantastic representative for the Wigan Hobbycraft store. My daughters both thought Poppy was an amazing teacher
We would heartily recommend a workshop with Poppy because she was so brilliant! Thank you :-) xx

The crochet workshop was in the robin park Wigan store. Thank you to Jess, she was very patient and easy to learn from.
We went through have to start, double and treble stitches and I came away with some rows of crochet, which is much more than I’ve managed myself.

Claire Togher Feb 2024


Booked as I've always wanted to learn but never managed more than a few stitches.
Jess was very welcoming and patient from the start. She made me feel welcome and showed step by step what to do. Jess made me feel that no question was a daft question.
It was good to only have a small group too.

Dawn was very helpful and explained everything I asked as I am a new starter with the circuit machine really enjoyed my one to one today

Linda Terniwski Jan 2024


Dawn my teacher was great. She’s friendly & knowledgeable & put me at ease. She taught me exactly what I needed to know & I look forward to trying out my new skills.
Dawn even said I can pop into the shop anytime if needed which I thought was nice of her to say too

Jess was very patient and explained things clearly. She answered lots of questions for me and offered to help in future if needed via store or email. Good value for money with great quality resources provided. Venue was ideal for classes, spacious and well lit. Would definitely attend in future

Fantastic dry clay workshop. The teacher Jess at Wigan branch was lovely and friendly and helpful to the children, she ensured each steps was easy for them to follow and chatted away to them about space making the experience much more. The venue was lovely, clean and tidy and had a lift for anyone not able to use stairs was great. All supply's were make available and the children got to take some home. Can't wait to book Easter!

My daughter and attended a Christmas Bauble Marbling class in the Wigan branch and throughly enjoyed the whole experience. The course teacher Sharon was excellent and very helpful as were the rest of the staff and the facilities are very well appointed. We will be looking out for the next events/classes.
