Christmas Garland Workshop at Gibside Stables, Newcastle

A festive flourish for your mantlepiece (and far less stressful than fairy lights).
About this Event

Christmas Garland Workshop at Gibside Stables
Saturday 13th December, 11am

💥 Gibside Stables is approximately a 20-minute walk from the reception building and includes mixed terrain and a steep-incline, so we’d recommend arriving onsite at least 30 minutes before the workshop begins and wearing sturdy footwear.

Deck the halls with your very own festive garland!

Using seasonal foliage, berries, and pinecones, you’ll bind everything onto a length of twine (about 1 metre long) – the perfect size for most mantlepieces.

Natural, stylish, and guaranteed to add a cosy Christmas touch to your home. It’s festive crafting at its best – and much less stressful than untangling fairy lights.

Our workshops at The Northern Flower Garden are always fun and supportive where I demonstrate professional floristry techniques, share the tips and tricks and we’ll keep the creativity flowing with crafted drinks and homemade bakes from the National Trust team.

⏰ Duration: up to 2 hours.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out—reserve your place today and make it an experience to remember!
