Christmas Workshops at The Packhorse
This year we are once again hosting a range of different Festive Workshops. Back by popular demand, we have foliage wreath making classes, candle making, and new for this year a glass wreath making workshop. All of the workshops are super friendly and work for both individuals or groups of friends.
After the day classes you will have the option to stay on for a festive lunch so you can really make a celebration of the event.
We also appreciate that times are tough so, we have worked hard to keep the prices the same as 2024 to tempt you along to one or more workshop!
Christmas Wreath Workshops with Persephone Violet 2nd, 5th, 9th December
Every year our Christmas wreath making classes are sellouts so be quick to secure your place this December. We have three workshops running this year, one day time class (Monday 2nd ) and two evening classes (Thursday 5th and Monday 9th). The day class will start at 11am (meet from 10.30am for welcome refreshments) and evening classes at 7pm (meet from 6.30pm for refreshments).
We are delighted that master florist Emily is once again running these fantastic festive workshops for us at The Packhorse. You will create a fresh foliage moss-based traditional Christmas door wreath completely from scratch (with expert tuition and support from Emily). Once the foliage base is made, you will then have great fun decorating your wreath with festive delights, ribbons and other decorations to make it completely unique. The wreath making workshop is suitable for all levels including absolute beginners – no previous experience necessary.

We are really looking forward to meeting Tracey from Glass Garden Studio who will be teaching you how to make glass wreath decorations using old wine bottles from The Packhorse!

You will get a taste of glass fusing using recycled bottles and will make one large wreath and a small wreath decoration for your tree! All materials, tuition & tools are provided, you just need to wear a sturdy pair of closed-toed shoes to protect your feet (no sparkly Xmas sandals for this class!).
Please note that the decorations will need to be taken back to the studio to be kiln fused so collection will be on Saturday 21st December. On collection of your wreath you can enjoy a festive tipple on us!
