Advantages: wide range of craft tools & equipment, good prices,

Disadvantages: not many stores

I am a pretty recent visitor to the world of hobby craft feeling that i needed something nice to keep me busy when not being busy with my two babies so what better place to have a look.

Around the shop for most of their crafts they have pamplets on the hobby telling you what equiptment you require and help and tips on how to do things. With the help of these pamplets I was able to make the candles perfectly. I know its not rocket science to make candles but following the leaflets I achieved it so it proves how well written they are.

The shop itself is well set out with a main aisle down the centre with buckets of special offers and sale items. Everything is well set out and all you need for one hobby is all in one place so if you wanted to knit you would have the wool, needles and patterns all near each other not spread out all over the shop.

Some of things they stock are model kits (trains, planes cars, motorbikes etc) party items such as making own cards, ballons, cake decorations, dolls houses and everything needed to furnish house, paints, woods, brushes of all kinds, candle making, beads, pom poms, felts and jewellery and paper of all kinds to name but a few.

Down most of the aisles you will find a how to do card and also cards giving you ideas for different types of projects i have found this very useful as i am inton making my own cards and seeing other ideas really gets the creative juices flowing.

The prices are very reasonable and also the staff are very knowledgable and helpful with any queries you may have.I visit every couple of weeks as it becomes quite addictive and also there are different items being reduced all of the time and i do love a bargain.

I would definitely think its worth a visit if you are looking for a new hobby as under this shops one roof you will find a wide wide range ......

Summary: great for keeping you busy with soo much under one roof
