We are so excited to bring you some festive cheer in the form of Chapelton Wreath Making Workshops with This is 36 Florals, taking place in the huge marquee at Elsick House.
Karen from This is 36 Florals will guide you through the whole process to make sure you go home with something to be proud of. From mossing up your wreath and adding lots of luscious winter greenery to personalising your creation with beautiful finishing touches including pinecones, fruit slices, berries and ribbons!
As these are in-person classes we have put measures in place to ensure your safety. We have a strict limit on the number of tickets available and participants will have their own individual workstation containing tools and materials to work with. The marquee will not be heated so wrap up cosy for winter and feel free to take a flask with a hot drink.
Book here to avoid missing out!
