Love popping in here with my doggos for an afternoon of crafting and coffee. A friendly atmosphere where I can relax and chat and crotchet for as long as I like. Nina is a wonderful hostess, providing tasty snacks and cakes. Oh , and the crafting classes are fabulous too!! Thanks Nina, I’ll be in again soon xxx

Can't recommend highly enough. Great cafe, lovely food, with the added bonus of craft workshops and the opportunity to meet, chat and make new friends. Free carparks close by - welcoming to visitors (including those with dogs) and child-friendly. Nina and her Mum work hard to make this a great venue.

I run art workshops at Flowcraft. It's a lovely cafe that focuses on the needs of the community. Everyone is welcome, and the children love it. The space is always set up for me perfectly, and they make sure I have everything I need. My friends and I drop in on occasions and sit and paint with a lovely coffee and cake.

This is a must do in Dereham! Fun for all the family no matter what age. Paint and afternoon tea was incredible. £35 for delicious afternoon tea. This was a reasonable amount of food for each person and had boxes to take the food away. We had a variety of paint and pens on the table for arrival. We got to pick which item we wanted to paint. I was keen on a wellington boots so asked to hold this back. We were given aprons to use. We had plenty of tea throughout the session. Toilet avaliable. Ground floor and wheelchair accessible. Best to book as small venue to avoid disappointment. We will definitely be back.

Visited for a spring wreath-making workshop and had the most fantastic time. The cafe itself is fresh and homely, and everyone involved in the class was just lovely - helpful, friendly and obviously just very enthusiastic about craft and making things! Materials provided for the class were gorgeous and as we were there for two hours we had good tea and coffee and top-notch biscuits! Will be keeping an eye on the website to plan my next visit, and the next after that.

My daughter and I visited for the first time this morning for the Summer holiday craft session and we had a fabulous time. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Lots of items to choose to paint, perfect way to spend a couple of hours catching up with friends or time with the children. After craft session, we had our lunch here too! Lots of choices and varieties of sweet treats for big and little ones . We can’t wait to visit again, thank you

I have regularly attended the craft and chat group on Monday afternoons at 1pm, and always really enjoy it. It’s a chance to make new friends, and share creative ideas, whether it’s knitting, sewing or any other craft activity. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and the food is great! You can buy lunch and there’s also lots of lovely cakes to choose from. I highly recommend this cafe. There are various arts and craft workshops for adults during the week, and lots of creative opportunities for children too at weekends and school holidays. Definitely worth a visit!

I can’t recommend this cafe enough! I love coming here on my own for a coffee and a treat to do some work in a calm and inspiring environment, and my two girls love coming in to get creative in the Drop In & Craft sessions. Nina and her Mum are fabulous! They work extremely hard and you can see how much they love doing what they’re doing. Nothing is too much to ask, and we always feel very welcome.
