- Time: 18:30 - 20:30
- Cost: £60 per person – includes an arrival drink
Get into the festive spirit and create your own beautiful Christmas wreath at Lydiard Park Hotel with Wild Thoughts Floristry.

The workshop will begin with a demonstration of sustainable wreath-making techniques, using a natural moss base. You’ll then be invited to get creative, choosing from an abundant selection of fresh foliage and seasonal decorations. From eucalyptus, berries and pine cones to dried flowers, fruits and ribbons, you can mix and match your favourites to create a wreath that’s uniquely yours.

Enjoy a relaxed evening complete with Christmas music and an arrival drink. It’s the perfect Christmas activity whether you come solo, or with friends.

Bring an apron and a good pair of secateurs if you have them, otherwise these will be provided. You should also bring a large bag to take your finished wreath home in and some gloves, as some foliage can be quite sharp or sticky.
