Arcade Crafts was opened in September 1998 by Alison and Chris Swift. Together with a team of helpful staff on hand, we are always there to offer advice on our wide variety of products.

We currently stock thousands of products including cross-stitch, models, scrap booking and card making materials, art supplies, stamping, jewellery making supplies, and much more. We stock products from a wide variety of suppliers including DMC, Anchor, Docrafts, Pergamano, Airfix, Tamiya, Revel and Italeri - just to name a few.

We also hold regular crafting demonstrations from Docrafts and Pebeo, as well as our product demonstrations to help give you ideas and advice on some of our current products.

We offer a number of services including:

PICTURE FRAMING - We have a large selection of frames and mounts available. All our frames are made to order to ensure they fit your requirements perfectly. We frame most things from cross-stitch, tapestries, prints, maps, memorabilia, football shirts, flowers and much more. We also make back boxes to fit frames for framing 3d items. Our staff are on hand to provide advice and help to choose a frame that is perfect for you.

CROSS-STITCH CONVERSION - We provide a cross-stitch conversion service in which we can take an image and covert it to a cross-stitch chart for you. This comes complete with the chart and threads list. We can provide a list for both DMC and Anchor stranded cottons.

SCHOOLS, CHARITIES AND CRAFT CLUB DISCOUNTS - We offer a 10% discount card service for schools, charities, Guiding, Scouting and craft clubs. If you think you may qualify for this in store discount service then please enquire for details.

ORDER SERVICE - We aim to specialise in getting our customers what they really need which means if we do not stock a specific product we will try and order it especially for you.
