Clare was absolutely fantastic, very fun and helpful! We absolutely loved this as a hen activity and it brought out our competitive side!

We recently hosted a hen party in Northumberland, and invited The Crafty Hen to join us to host a flower crown making workshop and WOW. We could not recommend Clare enough, she was extremely helpful and very patient! Everyone was thrilled with the results of the afternoon, and it was a really gorgeous way to spend time together before the wedding. Thank you so much!!

Clare was excellent. Made us all feel incredibly comfortable, explained the steps well and helped my Mum when her arthritis affected her hands. Brilliant fun!
