“The Creation Station’s creative activities are a force for good in the community” Richard Branson

We know that by supporting our fabulous franchise partners we can create a greater  positive impact  through the power of creativity.

The Creation Station was established in 2002 by mum-of-three and multi-award-winning entrepreneur Sarah Cressall. Sarah wanted to give children the opportunity to explore, discover and develop their own skills, ideas and confidence to give them a solid foundation for their life’s journey. Due to the increasing squeeze on creativity in education, and the growth of adult crafting, The Creation station has seen a phenomenal increase in demand for classes, parties, events and adult crafts.

Franchise Tailored To Suit Your Level Of Ambition

We have a family of 70 franchise partners across the UK who are achieving the flexibility, fulfilment and financial rewards they want.

Some of our franchise partners are parents who want more flexibility; and control  over their working hours, doing something rewarding and benefiting from their own hard work.

Some of our franchise partners have an existing business within the leisure or entertainment sector and want to complement their existing range of activities.
