Natural Wreaths And Country Garlands Workshop

Margaret Findlay is leading a natural wreaths and country garlands workshop at Lauriston Castle on Saturday 5 December, one of the Christmas events the castle is running this season. It's a morning session, starting at 10:30, and the whole thing is about making your own natural decorations for the holidays.

Findlay describes the workshop as a way to make beautiful natural decorations that become part of your family Christmas for years to come. The focus is on natural materials, and you'll be making both wreaths and country garlands, so you'll walk away with a couple of different things to hang up around the house. It's a hands-on session, and since it's led by Findlay, you'll be working through the process with her guidance rather than just following a set of instructions.

Lauriston Castle is out west in the city, at 2A Cramond Road South, Edinburgh West EH4 6AD. It's a proper estate setting, and this is one of several Christmas events they've got scheduled, so it's part of a wider festive programme rather than a one-off. If you're already planning a trip out that way for the other things they're running, this fits right in.

Tickets are £45 and you can get them through cultureedinburgh.com. It starts at 10:30 on Saturday 5 December at Lauriston Castle, and you'll leave with your own wreaths and garlands to take home.
