Wreath Making Workshop (morning or afternoon)
Tortworth Arboretum
10am-12noon or 1-3pm
Get festive and creative with our unique, nature-inspired wreath-making workshop.
Imagine crafting your own beautiful winter wreath while nestled beside a crackling open fire, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. In this special two-hour workshop, you’ll learn to weave a stunning wreath from sustainably grown, pre-soaked willow, guided step by step through the entire process. First, you’ll create a sturdy, reusable willow hoop—perfect for all seasons—before decorating it with an array of seasonal greenery and natural embellishments to make a truly bespoke piece.
All of this takes place in our enchanting open roundhouse, where the warmth of the fire and the comforting scent of woodsmoke mingle with the festive aroma of mulled wine and apple juice. Enjoy mince pies as you craft, letting the sights and sounds of the season spark your creativity.
Leave with not just a beautiful wreath to hang on your door, but a memory to treasure—this is more than just a workshop; it’s an experience to celebrate the season in the most natural, authentic way. You’ll be the envy of friends and family, with a handmade wreath that’s as unique as the setting in which you created it.
What’s included? All tools and natural materials are included, along with tea, coffee, mulled wine/juice and a homemade mince pie. If you would prefer to bring something of your choice with you such as ribbon, baubles or bells please do so.
