    I think tesco introduced them there yesterday. That means you can get absolutely anything there. Yay for corporate capitalism. :flirt:

    Where do you live?

    This place is brilliant for everything you have said you have wanted. The ice cream there is yummeh :yum:

    Its two mins away from my village Cuddington too :D Its about 20 mins away from Chester.

    I would definately recommend this place :yes:

    do you mean to buy things to craft with, or to buy crafted items?

    if it's the first, then yeah, hobbycraft (although it is an outrageous rip-off).

    if it's the second, then somewhere like stacey has posted, or you could try a craft fair? there are always LOADS of them around and about.

    However, HobbyCraft is stupidly expensive. Their profit mark-ups are extortionate and they are horrible to their staff :(

    Only reason I know is because I used to work there.

    Blake House Craft Centre :hyper:. I love that place. It's ubercool.

    But it's in Essex, so a bit far away :p.

    Hehe. Its called "Blakemere Crafts Centre". Its a lovely place and about 2 mins from my house.

    I remember going when I was younger and I made my own pot on one of those wheel thingies like they used to on TV. I got very excited about it. Haha.

    Well, I don't know how long it takes to get to Liverpool. I'd say about an hour in the car.

    Its about 20/30 minutes in car from Chester depending on the traffic.

    Haha, and no, I haven't been drinking. I blame this stupid Apple iMac computer I'm using at home.

    Haha. I don't know hun. It depends what you are looking for and whats for sale on the day. Personally, I think its quite a nice place. Its not big though, I'll warn you. Its like a mini village. My Mum used to drag us there alot and I used to see lots of pretty things.

    Hahaha. I was a little kid. I wanted to spend my days playing outside running around. I didn't want to spend my afternoons looking in furniture shops!
