Our History
Create and Craft was first established in 2003 as the sister channel to Ideal World, becoming the UK’s first 24-hour leading Craft Channel. In January 2022 the original founders of Ideal World - Paul Wright and Val Kaye - acquired Create and Craft resulting in a merger with The Craft Store as one company within the Hochanda Global LTD family.
Today, Create and Craft is now based in Oundle, Northamptonshire at Hochanda Global Limited head office. The leading UK Craft Channel can be found on Freeview 85, Sky HD 673, Freesat HD 813 and Virgin 748. You can also find Craft Extra on Sky 680 and Freeview 85.
