Hobby Craft is a massive arts and crafts supplies store, almost like an arts and crafts mega store. For the creative person, this place has the lot, everything from paint brushes and easels to model making kits and adhesives. Whatever your hobby you are bound to be able to get what you need here. The downside is that a lot of these supplies come at a price. For the bits I have used Hobby Craft for, I have normally found the same things cheaper elsewhere. That said, I believe in this case you are paying for the convenience of having everything under one roof. All it takes is one visit and you should have everything to complete your project. Staff are enthusiastic and helpful and the store itself is easy to navigate despite the size. It is always clean and tidy and makes for a comfortable shopping environment. Parking is very easy too as the shop is on a retail park which can be quite hectic at the weekend but no real problems during the daytime. read more

I feel this review needs to be summed up in a meme... 'SON I AM DISSAPOINT' http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/026/d/8/Son__I_am_Disappoint_by_SonIAmDisappointPLZ.jpg I really was disappointed, I held high hopes for this place. Craftey stuff in abundance I walked in looking for frames, paint and some nic-nacs. It was HORRIBLE. The staff were nowhere to be seen and when you did track on down to ask them 'where the hell is **insert crafty goodness here**?' they were short and seemed bewildered themselves. There's not a lot I can say about this place other than, It's jumbled, nothing is where you think is should or would be and the staff are just plain disinterested. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE - buy stuff online, it'll probably be cheaper too! read more

This place is great. Located in a small retail park in Crayford it offers a huge selection of basically anything you could want for. With a 3 year old it certainly helps to be able to have somewhere that has what you need as wandering around the shops can be a hassle. I can't comment on prices in the same way as Craig has but it wouldn't surprise me if they were a little higher, most chain stores are compared to smalled independents. But if you want to save your legs and time then a big store can really help. read more

I came into crayford shop today the staff are not helpful i even politely asked for some help on an activity i am planning for my child's work and they were very abrupt attitude me didn't want to help. What are you asking i don't know. When i asked for certain products yeah its over there. Didn't want to show me. Puts me of with from coming. Negative attitude of the staff. Would recommend better training on customer service skills with the public. read more

I love Hobby Craft! I could spend ages in here just looking around and wishing I had loads of money and time so I could just craft! I always come in here for cute cup cake cases, or some card to make Christmas cards, or to pick up some wool for knitting. This place has everything. It is a little expensive, and you could find it cheaper elsewhere, but you can't beat the ease of having everything under one roof. read more
