Oakdale Festive Wreath Making Workshop 2026

Oakdale are bringing back their festive wreath making workshop on Saturday 28 November, at St Wilfrid's Church Hall on Duchy Road. It's a return for the session, which comes after last year's went down well, and it's run as a creative morning or afternoon where you make your own wreath in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Each ticket is for one handmade wreath to take home, and all the materials are included in the price.

There's a nice local connection to the foliage, too. Spofforth Golf Club, Harrogate Golf Club and Oakdale Golf Club all provide the greenery used to make the wreaths, so it's literally sourced from the area. If you've never done one before, that's fine — it's a guided session, and the whole point is to spend a few hours making something by hand rather than rushing through it.

What makes it more than just a craft morning is where the money goes. All profits go to the charitable arm of Oakdale, which funds low-fee counselling and psychotherapy for people in the community. So, while you're getting a wreath for your front door, the ticket is also helping keep those services running for people across Harrogate.

There are two sessions to choose from on the day: a morning one from 10:00am to 12:30pm and an afternoon one from 2:00pm to 4:30pm. Tickets are £40 per wreath, with all materials included. Bookings close on 22 November, so you'll need to get your name in well before the day itself.
