Wreath Making

A guided wreath making workshop, using foraged materials from the park.
Festive fun

Get into the festive mood with this popular guided wreath making workshop, using foraged materials from the park!

Spend the morning with a park expert foraging and gathering your own materials to add to your wreath. Then we'll retreat to the comfort of our new Visitor Centre for refreshments and a guided workshop where you'll learn how to create your wreath. This hands-on workshop will be led by park gardener Penny Jones.

Attendees can expect a warm experience with all materials provided. You'll come away with your very own hand-made wreath to decorate your home for the festive season, bringing a part of the park with you.

No experience needed - all aspects of the event will be guided and are suitable for those at any experience level.
