The mugs are wonderful & beautifully made

The China mugs are very pretty and depict famous London sites in a clean modern manner. They were purchased as a gift and my husband likes them very much. They are wonderful reminders of our recent trip.

Somewhat nebulous workshop/entry…

Somewhat nebulous workshop/entry tickets booking process whereby it was unclear what the "1 free entry ticket if you book a workshop" mentioned in one email a while ago actually meant or how one went about obtaining that. Separate booking systems for workshops and entry shed no light on that and was confusing. Had to wait a few days before I got confirmation of whether I needed to book entry tickets or not, having booked 3 workshops on 3 days. Found out I didn't need to book entry on any day where I was attending a workshop, but I very nearly booked entry tickets by that time - so glad I held on. Would have booked one of my 3 workshops on a third day if I had known it would have got me free festival entry for that day, though, so a little annoyed about that. These problems could have been resolved through clearer language ("booking a workshop automatically gets you free entry on the day of the workshop" in each email sent prior to the event, and repetition of message, especially af the point of booking the workshops, for example). I've given polite feedback to staff by email. I'm hoping the actual festival will be better managed than the booking process. Looking forward to the event!

Hi Kid A,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The workshop ticket offer was valid for a certain time period. Information about the promotional workshop offer was not found because it ended when you purchased workshop tickets. As a gesture of goodwill, we included you in the offer. The issue you were also experiencing was by a third-party organisation.

Thank you for your initial feedback via email and for discussing the issues you have experienced with our team privately. Please note, the organisation of our festival is not a reflection of the booking process you have shared. We hope you enjoy the workshops.

Best wishes,
Branwen @HandmadeinBritain

Excellent and friendly organisation with people at its heart.

Excellent. Helpful and friendly communication from an organisation that clearly values its customers and creators alike. Good to feel part of a helpful movement supporting local, national and global crafters.
