There's something wonderfully nostalgic about the simple act of creating at Christmas time. Join our Christmas Wreath Making Workshop at Careys Manor Hotel and embrace the spirit of the festive season.
Thursday 26th November
As Christmas approaches, there's something special about bringing a little of the season indoors. Join expert florist Laura from Blooming Marvellous Creations for a relaxed festive workshop at Careys Manor, where you'll create either a handcrafted candle wreath for your Christmas table or a traditional door wreath using seasonal foliage and natural materials.
Guided step by step, you'll learn how to combine fragrant evergreen foliage, berries, ribbons and dried fruits into a beautiful festive decoration to take home. Whether you're discovering wreath making for the first time or returning to a favourite Christmas tradition, it's an opportunity to slow the pace, learn something new and spend time creating with others.
Choose from two festive experiences
Morning Session – Candle Wreath Centrepiece & Seasonal Lunch
10:00am – 2:00pm
