Hobbycraft Poole

Hobbycraft Poole opened in September 2023 and is one of the chain’s larger-format stores, offering more than just shopping:

• Retail Space: A massive showroom with over 35,000 arts and crafts products—think paints, yarns, sewing machines, and seasonal decor.
• Craft Workshops: Regular in-store sessions like knitting, painting, or kids’ crafts—check their website for schedules. They’ve got a dedicated workshop area.
• Digital Cutting Area: A space with machines for custom designs (e.g., vinyl or card cutting)—you can book time or join demos.
• Haberdashery Section: A big draw for sewers, with fabrics, threads, and patterns galore.
• Click & Collect: Order online, pick up in-store, usually within a couple of hours if stock’s available.
• Returns & Support: They handle returns here (within 28 days with receipt) and offer advice from staff who are often crafters themselves.
