Workshops at the Winter Fair
Get ready to wow your friends with your creative skills over the festive period. Our 2023 Winter Fair programme features two creative workshops in wreath making and chocolate decorating. Each workshop will run throughout both days of the fair – simply drop in and have a go.
And new for 2023 is a winter cheer workshop with wassailing fun for adults – pre-booking advised.
Wreath making workshop
In these fun wreath making sessions, you’ll create a festive Christmas wreath to take home, complete with evergreen foliage, sliced oranges, fir cones and a gorgeous ribbon.
Everyone taking part will be provided with a pre-mossed wreath ring and a bundle of foliage with instructions on how to cut and wind the foliage to the wreath ring. Amanda from My Little Flower Boutique will be on hand to assist and advise. 40 minute sessions running all day – just drop by to try it out. Ages: adults and children (with adult supervision)
There will also be fresh and faux, pre-made wreaths available for sale, alongside DIY wreath kits and winter-themed hand tied bouquets.
Cost: £28 per person
Chocolate workshop
Fancy working with Belgian chocolate? The Chocolate Genie workshops are designed to be fun and simple, while creating a professional finish – encouraging everyone to ‘have a go with chocolate’.
In this year’s workshop, youngsters will get the chance to decorate their own festive shapes, while older children and adults can decorate large hearts and Christmas trees. Sessions running all day – just drop by to try it out. Ages: suitable for all ages
Cost: £5 per shape (+ 50p gift wrapping), £8 per large heart/tree (gift wrapped)
