About The Workshop

Our wildly popular Christmas wreath workshop returns! Get into the festive spirit and create something natural and unique for yourself or a loved one this Christmas.

In the morning, Artist Jo Coles will take you out on a beautiful walk around Ditchling to forage for foliage to make your wreath. Afterwards, you will head back to the museum for mince pies and hot mulled punch. Jo will then expertly guide you through the process of making a wreath to decorate your front door, using your foraged greenery and festive additions.

After lunch, you’ll have the chance to make a simple straw deer or a willow star - ideal as a decoration for your wreath or as a charming standalone piece. Finally, you’ll put the finishing touches on your wreath, ready to take home and enjoy.

Sessions make the perfect festive meet-up for friends and families, you can enjoy the hands-on support of our workshop leader. So, whether you’re a wreath-making novice or a seasoned expert, you can create something beautiful.

Our wreath workshops sell out every year, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets include all materials and festive refreshments.
