i was extremely excited to here that hobbycraft was opening up locally and waited in aticipation for it to open and i was nothing but DISSAPOINTED with the place. The front of the shop was taken up by sweet and xmas trees, where is the craft in that. I find hobbycraft very over priced and the level of service is nowhere near as good as you get in little craft stores. I visit a craft store in middlesbrough and the staff are extremely helpful. I pay just under 40p for perlised card there, and when visiting hobbycraft realised they charge over double that at 97p each which is a disgrace. although hobbycraft is big, it is also a big con. i stick by my small craft shops anyday. you will also find them much more accomadating at getting stock in for you where large stores cannot and will not do that.
