Tucked behind Dainty Supplies.....whilst not as much stock as others prices were lower with quite a few promotions on. Where Essential Crafts scores is the classes the owner runs through the day + evening. All very friendly + cosy!

Super friendly, Ellen makes shopping at Essential Crafts an absolute pleasure. If there is something she doesn't have, she will do her best to get it for you. If you want to try something new, Essential Crafts has a variety of classes and groups you can join.

Great local shop for craft supplies and they run classes so you can learn crafts you might not have tried before. At the moment they have parchment, card making, knitting group and recently Powertex with the lovely Jak Heath. Pop in if crafting is your thing you won't be disappointed.
