THE opening date for a new arts and crafts shop in Taunton has been announced.
On April 7, Hobbycraft will open its doors at its new site in Hankridge from 9am.
Mayor of Taunton, Francesca Smith, will be cutting the ribbon at the official opening event at 9am, on Saturday, April 11 and the first 100 customers through the door will get a free goody bag.
Store manager, Tina, said: “We are really looking forward to opening the doors to our Taunton store and share our passion for arts and crafts with the community.
"We’ve been working really hard to ensure that the store will be packed full of the most exciting crafting products, which will help our customers create handmade masterpieces.
"Our new colleagues are all dedicated crafters and are ready to inspire and share their knowledge with locals of all crafting abilities.”
The store will offer customers the retailers’ extensive range of crafting products catering for beginners, experts, kids, crafters and party planners alike, while also having a dedicated ‘custom crafting’ area. A few members of the crafting team include papercraft expert Ellie who specialises in cricut, art expert Vicky who has a passion for watercolour painting, and Tracey, the in-store cross stitch expert.
