Stumbled across this place while trying to kill some time at the weekend, and I'm really glad that…read morei did! The material rolls section is brilliant, and there are some really good bargains in the clearnace section. I also thought that the section with linings and furnishing bits (tassles etc) was really good and very good value for money. I loved the blinds section, and am currently measuring up to get the horizontal leather covered blinds in my lounge. I've never seen blinds like these before, and have been assured by the staff that they dont fade in the sun. Looks to be very good quality throughout the store, and the staff i met were very polite and helpful. Looking forward to getting my blinds in now! They will also make curtains to order

Very wide selection of fabric goods, with a very good 'bargain' section…read more I was unfortunate in that the day i went, the member of staff on the desk was flustered, and rather rude, but aside from that experience the goods themselves did look of very high quality. There is a custom made curtains and blinds section, and from what i overheard from other people, this service does not cost much more than just buying the fabric and making the curtains yourself, but obviously takes out a lot of the hassle. It is located outside of newcastle town centre, so is most defnitly a 'drive to' experience, but parking is plentiful, and right next to the store.

Well it's certainly not the great place I remember coming as a child. I remember really fun candle…read moredipping workshops (which they still do) and these beautiful handmade candles that were truly works of art. Sadly, the latter are no longer available, which makes the whole place rather unremarkable. They now only sell ugly nick knacks and organise all kinds of crafts upstairs for things that are much uglier than what your child would bring home from school, all very cheap looking. Much better off encouraging artistry in school. Really, teachers will send your child home with the most amazing things and you're already paying tuition fees anyway, so why bother coming to the Cheshire Workshops and pay for something ugly? Such a shame that they've gone through such a drastic change!

This really is a great place for both adults and children…read more Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience of making their very own candles to take home. There is a gift shop where you can take home souvenirs and a lovely cafe located in a large conservatory overlooking the beautiful countryside. You can enjoy a delicious family meal before returning home with your happy children.

As you walk in there is a selection of tea sets and dinner ware made by Royal Albert, Doulton and Minton. Some are seconds and made abroad and others are first quality which were made in England.

There are figures at £10,000 as part of the prestige range. There is a toilet in the store and a little place to sit and have a drink. This is a pleasant shop to visit to find a bargain or a special gift.
