Spend a few festive hours weaving a willow wreath and decorating it with lovely natural materials.

Weave your own wreath from willow and decorate it with all the greenery and berries we have collected for you! We also have a selection of decorations such as ribbons and cinnamon sticks - but feel free to bring some of your own decorations to add.

We will get in the festive spirit with some a log fire and tea or coffee while we work.

Instructions on how to make the wreath and all resources needed will be provided. However if you wish to bring your own gardening gloves, secateurs or decorations for your wreath – you are more than welcome!
