About Us

We’re here to help you create

Our passion for craft is at the centre of everything we do. This is reflected in our creative and knowledgeable Hobbycraft store colleagues, who are always on hand to help, and our vast, carefully selected range of quality products. Throughout the year, we also host a variety of workshops and demos in stores and online, designed to give everyone the opportunity to master a new craft or refine a beloved one.

We're here to support everyone on their crafting journey, from parents looking to encourage their creative kids, to student artists, expert knitters, model making hobbyists and more! Why not come into your local Hobbycraft store today and find the perfect craft for you?

Charity partnerships

Now in its ninth year, our long-term partnership with Together for Short Lives is founded in a shared belief in the therapeutic power of arts and crafts. Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our customers and colleagues, we've now raised over £2m for the charity, which has been used to provide vital care.
