Hobbycraft Farnborough - Farnborough

Suganthini M.

One of my favorite places. It’s a one stop shop for all art, craft, sewing and baking needs

The team in this store are super friendly.

Social distancing is strictly maintained

The merchandising standards are of very high. I would highly recommend this store.

Parking is not an issue. This store is located near other retailers making life easy

I visited the Farnborough store today and the lady on the till was extremely helpful. She helped me with vouchers, emails and my app. Nothing was too much trouble. I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name but she has got purple hair. I don’t very often leave reviews but this young lady really stood out

We were on the last day of a great holiday (which we spent mainly in London and doing various activities) so we decided to have a wee nosey locally.

My closest Hobbycraft at home is many miles away so I rarely visit, but I love it.

This Hobbycraft is a gem of a place filled with enough items to spark even the least creative of minds.
To me it was like Aladdin’s cave.

There are rare to find items and quirky deals like “pick and mix” - a large choice of loose beads of every size and colour that works exactly like the sweets version - pick a tub - then fill it!

They have the shop organised well - devoting an area to each craft - and I found it easy to navigate.

From baking, knitting, papercraft, kids crafts, craft kits, painting, drawing, colouring, dressmaking, jewellery making, tie dyeing, gift wrapping, party supplies and every other craft known to man - they have a bit of everything.

They not only have craft items though, they do have every conceivable types of artists supplies.

I found a gorgeous range of card that was new to me and lovely cellophane bags.

Masses of choice of tags, ribbons and tissue paper were also a hit and everything is of a really high quality.

I believe the shop also do demonstrations, although none were happening during my visit - I did see evidence of it.

I’m disabled and have cognitive impairment - this affects my spacial awareness.
It also affects my eyesight, memory and reading skills.

My only criticism of the shop relates to this.
Luckily, the shop was empty when I visited as there isn’t much space to move around - they have so many items and narrow aisles.

This might affect other disabled customers, especially those in wheelchairs.

I also struggled at times to find prices on or around items which was frustrating.

I’m general though I think this is a fabulous shop well worth a visit to anyone interested in arts or craft.

Shopfloor divided into sections according to different crafts.

As it is one shop covering all crafts, the selection may not be overwhelming but what they have is good.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The aisles can be narrow in areas so those people with limited mobility may experience difficulties in places.

Tried to think of a hobby or craft that this shop did not cater for, we failed miserably. What a selection and variety of items. Parking is plentiful and the staff very helpful.

Lovely people. Went in for a pile of stuff and the hugely helpful folk managed to find the bits and bobs I needed. A treasure trove of a place, with more stuff than my crafty house can hold.

Benny P.

Very friendly staff and I can find anything I need. Love the shop.

Great place for crafting materials. Purchased yarn for a crochet project this time. Good value: 3 for 2 offer.
