Christmas Workshops
(No previous experience needed and everything you need will be provided)
Dates for Christmas workshops for 2024 will be released in early Summer 2024. Please click on the link at the bottom to register to find out the dates when released.
Christmas is our favourite time of year so we want to make sure that all our workshops are fun and festive and that everyone leaves with something that they are proud of and makes them smile everyday when they come home to it.
For the base of the arrangements we use locally grown green spruce and Norwegian silver spruce, then we also provide a mix of other foliages to complement these including a range of types of eucalyptus, pine, oak leaves, pittosporum , cotton, birch twigs, pussy willow, thistle, sprayed foliage, plus traditional ivy, conifer and holly.
We also will provide a wide range of accessories, including traditional decorations (such as pine cones, oranges, cinnamon and robins), some more unusual natural decorations (such as lotus seed heads, old mans beard and wooden decorations) and then more modern and sparkly accessories in a range of colours (including a wider range of baubles, stars and lights).
​
We don’t limit the amount of foliage or accessories you can use and truly encourage a creative and expressive display which ensures that everybody finally design is completely different and personal to them.
​
We offer a number of different formats of workshops that offer something that will suit everybody.
-
Large group workshops- These workshops are a lot of fun and great to come with a group of friends, they are help in exclusive pub setting and can have between 15 and 25 people on them. There is always plenty of support with an experienced helper allocated to every 8 people.
-

Luxury Traditional Christmas Wreath Workshops
Eco Friendly Christmas Wreath Workshops
£55
per
person
These workshops teach the traditional and most common method of making Christmas wreaths using a copper ring with moss bound on with twine to create the base of the wreath. Then stems are bound onto the ring in sections to create a full circle, accessories are then attached with wire and finally the back of the wreath is covered in a protective plastic. ( Eco materials will also be available if you would rather use this method)
​
What makes these workshops luxury is the full range of foliage, flowers and accessories that we have on offer. You aren't limited or given the same things as everyone else , but can choose from a wide range of high quality foliage and accessories.
All of the workshops will offer an eco friendly alternative of making Christmas wreaths where the base is completely compostable. A willow base can be used.
A range of natural accessories will also be available with the option of tying on with string.
​
Family Friendly Workshops
​
All day time workshops would be able to accommodate a limited number of babies and children with advance warning. Children aged 8+ may be able to make a wreath on their own alongside another adult, dependent on their attention span! Please call us to discuss further
