Hobbycraft Offers & Leaflet This Week

Hobbycraft: a craft shop with a club behind it

How many shops, and who owns them?

Ask how many hobbycraft stores there are in the uk and you will get different answers depending on the date. Wikipedia counted 124 locations in 2024, the company's own corporate page talks about 108, and in 2025 it announced a restructure that closed some branches. So the safe answer is a little over a hundred, spread across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The chain began in 1995 with a shop at Ferndown near Bournemouth, and the head office is in Christchurch, Dorset.

Ownership has changed too. The Haskins Group, a garden and nursery supplier in southern England, started it, Bridgepoint bought it in 2010, and in 2024 it passed to the retail investor Modella Capital. None of that changes what you see on the shelf, but it explains why you might read about closures in the news while a new branch opens somewhere else in United Kingdom.

In our listings, Hobbycraft sits in House & Garden, which is a slightly odd home for a craft shop, so it helps to compare it with Homebase and with the rest of the Other pages when you want to see everything in one go.

What you can buy and how to shop it

The range is broad: art supplies, knitting and crochet, haberdashery, papercraft, baking, jewellery making and party and wedding bits, plus digital crafting with cutting machines. Many items are sold under the shop's own labels alongside well-known brands. A hobbycraft wool offers or hobbycraft yarn offers search usually points at the knitting and crochet section, and anyone after a hobbycraft sewing machine offers deal should check the exclusions on any discount code first, because craft machines are often carved out.

Yes, you can order online from hobbycraft, and the website and app carry the full in-store range and more. Click and Collect is available, and the shop says it does not ship outside the UK any more. If you want to see something before you buy, use the stock check on the site, then head to the nearest branch. For a laptop to drive a cutting machine, Electronics and Currys PC World are worth a glance. For opening times and the nearest shop, use the store locator instead of guessing, since hours differ by branch.

Workshops and demonstrations run in shops and online, which is handy if you are new to a craft and would rather learn with a Cricut or a needle in your hand than from a video. If your project spills into the garden or the shed, House & Garden is the better place, or look at Argos for the practical kit.

Offers, the Club and the weekly leaflet

Hobbycraft runs a free Hobbycraft Club, which unlocks member offers and vouchers, and a paid Hobbycraft Plus tier for people who craft a lot. The Club is where most of the hobbycraft special offers sit, so sign-up is worth a look before the checkout. The leaflet we track this week runs from 20.10.2026 to 27.11.2026, has 1 pages, and usually appears on a Tuesday, with a typical life of 39 days.

Does hobbycraft do student discount? Yes, through a student verification scheme, but it is online only, cannot be stacked with Club offers, and leaves out craft machines, workshops and gift cards. So a student buying a sewing machine is better off waiting for a machine promotion. Likewise, a hobbycraft black friday offers search turns up deals each year, so look at the actual terms for this season rather than last year's headlines.

For a general view of hobbycraft offers this week, read the leaflet page and then compare with Studio for catalogue-style bits, B&M for bargain homeware and Aldi for the weekly shop on the way home. For gifts, Damart covers warm clothing, and Clothing & Shoes lists the rest. We do not quote prices here, so check the shop for what you will really pay.
