We love it when you come to visit us from further away! There are two great hotels in the centre of Market Harborough, just minutes walk away from the Craft Centre.
The Three Swans Hotel & Restaurant – Market Harborough, Leicestershire
This is our closest hotel and a luxury option with a lovely bar and restaurant.
Travelodge | Market Harborough hotel – Market Harborough hotels
More of a budget option, but still very central and the Craft Centre and numerous restaurants are within 4-5 minutes walk.
For most courses – just yourself! The price of all the materials you need are included in the course fee. For some of the dressmaking courses you may be asked to provide a pattern and fabric of your choice so that you are making something you know you will like and wear.
No, there is no need to lug your own sewing machine around – we have eight beautiful new Brother machines for you to use. Of course, you may bring your own if you particularly wish to do so.
If you have something special you would like to use you are most welcome to bring it along.
We reserve the right to cancel a course if we have insufficient applicants, or the tutor is unwell and we are unable to find a replacement tutor. In such cases you will be given the option to transfer to another course or take a refund.
Our terms and conditions are that we only offer refunds in the event of a course being cancelled due to insufficient numbers of applicants or unforseeable circumstances. Once you have booked and paid for a course it is otherwise nonrefundable and nontransferable.
In very exceptional circumstances we may be able to resell a space, if we have a waiting list. Then we will issue a refund less a 5% administration charge.
If you can organise some friends (minimum 4) we can hold a special one-off course for you on a date of your choice. Or you can organise a one-to-one session (see below).

Yes – tutors are available for one-to-one sessions at £45 per hour. These can be booked via the website, or give us a call on 01858 466692 to discuss your requirements.
You don’t need to stay with your child for the workshop – dropping off is actually preffered as it ensures all adults present are DBS checked. We of course understand some children will not want to be left, particually for our Little Crafters classes as these have a younger age range.
Thank you for thinking of us, but we don’t have space to take donations of craft items and tools. Here’s where you can take things:
Fabric – donate to Morsbags to be made into reusable tote bags. You can drop fabric off at Pressing Appointments on Coventry Road
Sewing Machines – can be donated to the charity Tools for Reliance at Evington Park House, Cordery Road, LE5 6DE. You can contact them on 0116 2392913.
Other craft items and tools can be donated to charity shops.
