Craft Breaks with So Much More!

We offer short craft weekend breaks, through to longer midweek breaks. Our programme is flexible, with most workshops running once, if not twice during each stay, meaning you can enjoy as many as you choose. All tuition is free of charge and you can take your finished pieces home to enjoy at the end of your stay.

Away from the arts and crafts, you are welcome to use our sport, leisure, golf and spa facilities as much as you choose during your stay. There truly is no other craft resort like this in the UK.

Questions About Our Craft Centre

We recommend the Manor craft hotel as the best choice for keen crafters. Our full range is available, all year round. Ashbury’s craft centre is only open during school holidays and offers several guest favourites. You are welcome to use the facilities at either resort during your stay

Most of our crafts can be enjoyed with adult supervision, however some do require a minimum age. This is usually due to the workshop requiring the use of more dangerous equipment or materials. Age requirements for each craft can be found on each individual workshop page (see below). We also have a range of junior crafts available during the school holidays aimed at younger children.

The amount you pay will vary from workshop to workshop and depends on the items you make. Our craft centres are cash-free zones. Items can be billed to your room (except on arrival/departure day) or can be paid for by credit/debit card.

No. You are not permitted to bring your own items to the craft centre to decorate/personalise. All products must be purchased in our workshops from our extensive ranges.
