Introducing Proper Crafty

Wakefield’s brand-new art cafe where creativity and community meet!

Proper Crafty is designed as a warm, welcoming space for everyone to unleash their inner artist, relax, and connect.

Beyond our everyday drop-in crafting, Proper Crafty is built for community:

  • Kids’ Arty Parties: Fun, messy, hands-on celebrations tailored for young creators.
  • Paint & Sip Nights: The ultimate evening out with friends, great drinks, and guided art sessions.
  • Private Bookings & Celebrations: From baby showers and hen dos to community group hire, our space is yours to gather, create, and celebrate.

Whether you're popping in for a quiet solo crafting session or celebrating a special milestone, we can't wait to welcome you. Pop in, get stuck in, and get Proper Crafty!

"A Little bit Coffee, a Whole Lot Crafty"

What's an Art Cafe I hear you ask?

Here’s how it works: step inside, grab a table, and order your creative project straight from our craft menu! Whether you fancy painting a canvas, crafting a macramé plant hanger, customizing a canvas tote bag, or creating a colourful mosaic coaster, we supply everything you need to make something uniquely yours.

Pair your project with a fresh coffee, a chilled glass of wine, a soft drink, or a delicious slice of cake. 

Get Creative!
