Introducing MINI MAKES - a series of shorter workshops at Chirpy this Autumn.

We know that people are feeling a little bit short of time & money so these workshops are aimed at letting your stay creative without breaking the bank!

Whether it’s a mini version of our ever popular Jesmonite Coaster workshop, or the NEW Woven Plant Pot Cover workshop, these 1 & 1/2 hour workshops are perfect to help you keep crafting and learning new skills.

All held upstairs in our great workshop space, they still promise to be the same relaxed, friendly and enjoyable workshops as before.

You’ll also still benefit for 10% off in Chirpy on the night of the workshop, perfect if you need to do a bit of birthday or Christmas shopping (or a treat for yourself). What’s more for each workshop you’ll still get a virtual stamp on your Chirpy Workshop Loyalty card - collect 8 stamps to get your 9th workshop for FREE!

So why not try on (or more) of our MINI MAKE workshops this Autumn, we know you won’t be disappointed!

Shopping Online with Chirpy - a few changes

We’re making a few changes to the way we post out our online orders …

So after a bit of a survey with our customers, we’re making a few changes to how we post out our Chirpy orders.

From 1st July there will be a standard £2.50 postage charge for all orders

We will also now be sending orders out 2nd Class - having spoken to many other indie retailers and customers, people seem happy with 2nd class and often things arrive just as quickly.

However, if you are in a real hurry and have a tight deadline for an order please let me know as can arrange for 1st class postage at a small extra cost

We hope that our customers are happy with these changes - we’ll review it in a couple of months just to make sure.
