We had a great time @ Creek Creative on Friday surrounded by the beautifully stunning Greek Artwork Collection by Ann Welch, really took us to ‘another place..’ ���

followed by superb lunches of homemade carrot & sweet potato / sweet pepper & potato soup, with delightful breads & amazing ‘cheese on toast’ with bacon - all followed by the lightest Victoria sponge ever! And Coffee! Yumm! Thank you ��

Took part in Charlotte's pendant making workshop! Loved the workshop and charlottes confident and professional approach. Creek creative itself was also very nice and worth a visit !

User

Took my daughter here for her birthday, she told me it was the best party ever, staff are lovely. Thanks for a fab morning anne and penny

User

THE BEST carrot cake - the only place I go to specifically for that! The coffee is pretty special too, a big plus is that they cater for vegans. Anything produced in the kitchen never fails to disappoint. Lovely, lovely staff and very warm vibe. Thanks ladies!! Xx

User

So pleased to have discovered this creative jewel in my home town! I took part in the beginners Glass Fusion Workshop on Saturday by Yvonne, a resident Glass Fusion Artist. I'm not sure how but she managed to get a complete novice to produce something reasonably pleasing to the eye! The delivery of the workshop was excellent & I would highly recommend Creek, it's studios, artists & café to all

User

Lovely people serving and in the kitchen.

User

Lovely gallery, great place for a coffee, and people who can't do enough to help.

User

It's an amazing place. Very nice shop with unique jewellery, pottery, cards etc. A lovely café where I regularly visit, especially when they have one of their art exhibitions on display. Definitely somewhere not to be missed when visiting Faversham.

User

I have returned home at last from domesticity and boredom. Back into the folds of creativity at Creek creative studios. It's a wonderful space, full of inspiration and space to explore and exhibit and very friendly. Continued work today, making lots of huffing and puffing noises removing a support jacket for a cast. Thankfully I can now close the door on the mess and go home to a less messy boat.

User

Great and inspiring place and lots of exciting things brewing.

User

Fantastic space for anyone with a creative mind. An true asset to Faversham!

User

Fab venue. An amazing creative venue. Be there! sparkles delx

Creek Creative has made Faversham a much more interesting place to dwell, with it's wonderful cafe(fantastic cheese scones) a gift shop with unique items and the anticipation of what great delights you will see on the walls of the galleries. CC has totally changed Faversham for the better, plus there are different interesting workshops though out the year on the premises.
