Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

Charlie was fantastic. I could not have asked for a better teacher. I covered as much as possible in my allocated 1 to 1 class, including things that weren’t normally covered with the beginner course. Would highly recommend Charlie to anyone starting off :-)

Was a really good introduction for 3 total beginners. Can't get over how much we learned so fast. Charlie was a great teacher and very patient. He was very good at explaining and making things simpler. And he gave us insights into different terminology and things we could aim for. He was very positive and encouraging. The starter kit was really good. Plenty for further practising. The wool colours are really nice shades. Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a go at crochet!

Charlie was extremely helpful and supremely knowledgeable. He broke the technique down and was very patient. I will definitely book further workshops. Photo of my very first piece of crochet attached.

Charlie was amazingly supportive teaching my 13 year old daughter how to crochet in only 90 minutes. A thoroughly nice guy who gave us lots of ideas for future projects. 5 stars.

Scobby and Charlie were very informative, helpful and patient and fun teachers, who led us through how to make a chain, double and treble crochet stitches and other very helpful tips. Included as part of the course was a bag containing a crochet hook, 2 balls of wool and instructions on how to complete the tasks. Very approachable teachers. Really enjoy the session and would highly recommend to others interested in beginning to crochet.
