Welcome in the season and create a beautiful fresh wreath for your autumn door at our Autumn Wreath Workshop at Gibside Stables!

Autumn Wreath Workshop at Gibside Stables

Saturday 26th September, 11am

💥 Gibside Stables is approximately a 20-minute walk from the reception building and includes mixed terrain and a steep-incline, so we’d recommend arriving onsite at least 30 minutes before the workshop begins and wearing sturdy footwear.

Join us for a relaxed and creative workshop as we celebrate the rich colours, textures, and natural beauty of autumn by creating a beautiful fresh wreath for your home.

In this hands-on session, you'll learn how to bind a selection of seasonal foliage onto a freshly mossed wreath ring, building a natural and abundant base for your design. Don't worry if you've never made a wreath before—I'll guide you step by step through the process, making this workshop perfect for both complete beginners and those with previous floristry experience.

Once your foliage base is complete, you'll have the opportunity to personalise your wreath with a choice of autumnal embellishments, adding colour, texture, and your own creative touch. Whether you love a beautifully natural, foliage-filled design or something a little more decorative, you'll create a unique fresh wreath to adorn your autumn door and welcome family and friends throughout the season.

This workshop is the perfect excuse to slow down, embrace the changing season, and enjoy a few mindful hours immersed in creativity. Think crisp autumn days, beautiful scenery, and plenty of gorgeous foliage!

You'll leave with a stunning seasonal wreath to take pride of place on your front door and all the satisfaction of saying, "I made that!"

No experience needed—just bring yourself and a love of autumn.

Our workshops at The Northern Flower Garden are always fun and supportive where I demonstrate professional floristry techniques, share the tips and tricks and we’ll keep the creativity flowing with crafted drinks and homemade bakes from the National Trust team at Gibside.

⏰ Duration: up to 3 hours.
