Hobbycraft gives teachers 5% off online orders. You verify your employment status through Beans iD, which takes about 2 minutes, then reveal a code and enter it at checkout. The code doesn’t work in Hobbycraft stores or in the Hobbycraft app, so it’s one to use on an order you’re placing from your laptop.
Hobbycraft is a UK craft chain, founded in 1995 and now a nationwide business with stores across the UK and an online shop. It sells art, knitting and crochet, haberdashery, papercraft, wedding and party, baking and jewellery making supplies, which covers a lot of ground for a classroom craft cupboard, a display wall or a half-term project.
How To Get The Hobbycraft Teacher Discount
Hobbycraft’s teacher discount runs through Beans iD, a verification service from Student Beans. The steps:
- Open the Hobbycraft teacher discount page and sign up or log in.
- Create a free Beans iD account and verify your employment status. It takes about 2 minutes.
- Reveal your code, then enter it at checkout on hobbycraft.co.uk.
Hobbycraft doesn’t say which school roles count, so you’ll find out whether yours fits when you verify.
What The Code Doesn’t Cover
The 5% applies to online orders only. It doesn’t apply to purchases made in store or on the app, and Hobbycraft colleagues can’t use it.
Some products are left out as well. Craft machines are excluded, including sewing machines, Cricut machines and Glowforge machines, along with workshops, subscriptions and gift cards. Trading card games are excluded too, as are the Geek Retreat, Entertainer, Toys R Us and Post Office product ranges. If you’re buying a Cricut for the classroom, the code won’t take anything off the machine.
Hobbycraft Club, The Other Way To Save
Hobbycraft’s Club is free to join. It gives a 15% off new member discount, a £5 voucher on your birthday and 5% back on your spend, plus offers for members only.
The teacher code excludes purchases made by Club members, and it can’t be combined with the 15% welcome offer, which is for students only. That leaves you choosing between the teacher code and Club pricing on a given order. Since 15% off for a new member is a bigger number than 5%, a first order is worth pricing both ways before you check out.
More Craft Stores For Teachers
If you shop in the US, our Michaels teacher discount page covers the verified-educator discount at that chain, and our Hobby Lobby page covers what Hobby Lobby does and doesn’t offer teachers.

Q&A
Does Hobbycraft have a teacher discount?
Yes. Teachers get 5% off online orders after verifying their employment status through Beans iD.
Can I use the teacher discount in a Hobbycraft store?
No. The code doesn’t apply to purchases made in store or on the app.
How long does verification take?
About 2 minutes. You create a free Beans iD account, verify your employment status and reveal your code.
What can’t I buy with the teacher code?
Craft machines such as sewing, Cricut and Glowforge machines, workshops, subscriptions, gift cards, trading card games, and the Geek Retreat, Entertainer, Toys R Us and Post Office product ranges.
Can I use the code with a Hobbycraft Club account?
No. The terms exclude purchases made by Club members, so a Club purchase and the teacher code don’t go together.
