“Kate & Mel from The Crafty Hen came to run a faux flower wreath workshop for my sister’s hen party in February 2025. They were wonderful & the workshop was fabulous. They provided clear instructions & plentiful material. They were in good time & tidied everything up before they left. Communication before the event was also fantastic. Everyone was really clear about what facilities were needed for the event to work. Thank you so much! Would 100% recommend.”
“Absolutely FABULOUS! Kate & Tina were wonderful, totally self sufficient and the hens loved it! A brilliant ice breaker and all round good time!”
“I just wanted to write and say how amazing Kate and Julia were. We took part in cocktail ring making for my sister’s hen party. All the girls really enjoyed the craft afternoon - there was just a buzz of laughter and chatter throughout the whole experience!!! Thank you!!”
