It is with great sadness that we have made the difficult decision to close our much-loved Inspirations Store at the Capitol Centre, Preston.

Unfortunately our store having to close during the pandemic restrictions has meant a change in how people shop, with more and more people choosing to get their craft goodies online. The reduction in customers coming in store sadly means we are not able to continue to keep the shop open.

Our shop has won many awards over the years and been a focal point for the craft community, with visitors coming from all over the country and beyond. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 13 years and we are sincerely grateful for your custom and for making our jobs here at Inspirations incredibly enjoyable. We will miss chatting with you, seeing you at our popular workshops and demos, and most of all helping you with your craft projects.

We plan to close the store in late March and until then our usual business hours will continue. Please come and see us as we’ll be offering large discounts on all items and hope you will come take advantage of these savings.

When we do close, the whole team will be moving up to head office to help with your online orders, and we hope we can still inspire you here at hunkydorycrafts.co.uk, where you can shop with us online and of course watch us live on Hunkydory Craft TV.

Once again thank you for being fabulous customers over the years, please do come in and see us before we close.

 

Love
