Hobbycraft Basildon is celebrating its 25th birthday with free goody bags and a golden ticket giveaway.
The store will host a Big Birthday Weekend on Saturday, December 14, rewarding the first 100 customers with free goody bags.
A golden ticket will also be hidden in the store, with the lucky finder winning a £100 Hobbycraft gift card.
Free kids' workshops, including a Make Your Own Dancer Keyring Workshop, will also be available.
Store manager, Bunny Baines, said: "Twenty-five years is a huge milestone to hit, so we can’t wait to mark the occasion with the local community.
"We are passionate about arts and crafts, so it’s great to see so many people taking up crafting year on year."
The Basildon store, which employs 14 people, has been based at Westgate Park for 25 years.
It offers craft workshops, a digital cutting area, a haberdashery area, and information about the Hobbycraft Plus subscription service.
