Hobby Craft planning on Salisbury store

The UK’s largest arts and crafts retailer looks like it is coming to Salisbury, as plans have been submitted for a Southampton Road site.

Plans have been put to Wiltshire Council to add signage to the former Argos store adjacent to Next on the busy Dolphin Trading estate.

Hobby Craft says that they are the biggest craft retailers and describe themselves on their website as being passionate about it, “Our passion for craft is at the centre of everything we do.

This is reflected in our creative and knowledgeable Hobbycraft store colleagues, who are always on hand to help, and our vast, carefully selected range of quality products.”

Founded in 1955 the company now has over 100 stores nationwide, and it looks like Salisbury will soon be added to that list.

The company lists Salisbury as a store location on its career page on its website but doesn’t list any jobs, yet.

The planning application submitted is for the shop’s illuminated signage.
