About this Event
Get in the festive spirit and learn to create your very own Christmas wreath. You will work with locally harvested willow and foraged materials to weave a beautiful - and unique - natural wreath. Once you have created your willow base you can decorate with greenery, berries and other materials. If you have any special decorations you would like to add you can bring them along too!
The workshop will be held at the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust Office. All equipment and materials will be provided. Drinks (and maybe a mince pie!) will be available for participants.
