Welcome to RE Treats Plymouth

At RE Treats Plymouth, we’re passionate about bringing people together through creative craft workshops that inspire making, learning and connection.

Our purpose-built craft studio offers small-group workshops and personalised tuition for adults who want to learn new creative skills, return to a craft they once enjoyed or develop the skills they already have.

Whether you’re trying something for the first time or ready to take your creativity further, our practical, supportive sessions give you the guidance, time and space to learn at your own pace, build your confidence and enjoy making.

We believe creativity can unlock imaginative ideas and bring a sense of joy and calm. Becoming absorbed in making allows the pressures of everyday life to fade into the background for a while, giving you the freedom to simply enjoy making.

Gift a workshop or craft kit

A craft workshop makes a thoughtful and unique gift for anyone who loves creativity—or wants to discover it!

For Someone You Know:
It’s a wonderful way to encourage a friend or loved one to try something new, meet new people, and create something special with their own hands.
For Someone You Don’t Know Well:
It’s a fresh alternative to traditional gifts, offering a memorable experience rather than a physical item.
Flexible & Personal:
Gift vouchers can be redeemed for any workshop, making it easy for the recipient to choose what excites them most at a time that suits them.

What our makers say

Sarah P

“I absolutely loved the workshop experience at Retreats Plymouth. The instructors were so patient and knowledgeable, making it easy for me to learn new skills. I left feeling inspired and proud of what I created!”

Yvonne E

"I had a wonderful day yesterday with the lovely Elaine. I finally completed one cushion with Elaines help and now I just need to sew the back on and put the zip in the other one to complete the pair! Hooray!

We were, working and talking all sorts of craft all day, it was really good.

Elaine is very clever at many crafts, I don't know how she fits so much into her days."
