The Works

Formerly The Works bookshop, they decided to go more down the arts and crafts route. Im still not entirely sure if I prefer the bookshop..,but I do like the crafts. There are still books, but mainly craft related. Good for children’s craft kit type presents too.

Reasonably priced craft basics in a convenient location. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They even have a large variety of wooden boxes, which I was recently disappointed to find a larger, popular craft store doesn't carry. So don't pass this place over just because it's a small shop. It's packed with lots of great stuff!

Lovely, affordable art and craft goodies. I like their guache paints for small projects and for cheap sketchbooks for my kids. Really good for creative gift-giving.

Good place for those looking for very reasonable priced items from greeting cards tp pencils games and anything for hobbies

Very reasonably priced, and we always find what we need here for arts and crafts

Loads of things to keep kids busy, bit dearer still works for the time & peace you get...

Helpful staff and tidy store

Make sure you get a receipt when getting a refund.
Been waiting for a refund to reach my bank account for several weeks now and customer service have told me there is no record of a refund for my items I ordered online. fortunately I asked for a receipt.
Without one the works don't want to know anything.
