Wreath Workshop

Katie from Wild Oak Workshops warmly welcomes you to a magical Christmas Wreath Workshop in the beautiful setting of Ely Cathedral. This year your workshop will be located in the heart of the Lady Chapel, a very special place indeed.

We are so blessed to have been allowed to enjoy this exclusive space so that we can create gorgeous Christmas Wreaths together. 

A three hour relaxed workshop using armfuls of locally harvested spruce, pine cones foraged from the forest floor, hedgerow teasels and deliciously scented cinnamon sticks and kiln dried citrus orange slices. All weaved into a natural willow wreath base and nestled amongst lichen and moss to create a natural wild look to your wreath. With a gorgeous selection of ribbons, raffia or twine to choose how you wish to hang your beautiful Wreath on your front door.

Should you wish, as an optional extra, Katie will show you how to carefully entwine fairy lights* (battery operated) to your wreath. So your wreath can be admired all through those dark wintery evenings. A dusting of snow and extra sparkles can add a magical touch at the end of the creative session. Katie looks forward to sharing her love of nature and knowledge about this gentle Season. The heaven scent of nature's gifts at this special time of year will truly be sensational.

*£5 extra to pay in cash on the day for fairy lights.

And it goes without saying that warming mulled wine and locally made mince pies, tea or coffee will all be included in your ticket.

Christmas festive jumpers and sparkles are to be encouraged!!!
