Adult's Wreath Making Workshop

The International Bomber Command Centre is hosting an Adult's Wreath Making Workshop on Thursday 10 December, from 19:00 to 21:00. It's a festive Christmas wreath-making session for adults, so you'll spend the evening putting together your own wreath to take home and hang up for the season.

It's worth knowing exactly where you're heading, because the venue is a bit more than just a room for a craft class. The International Bomber Command Centre is the only place in the world dedicated to the losses of Bomber Command during the Second World War. It brings together the stories of the men and women from 62 different nations who served in the command, alongside those who suffered under the bombing campaigns and those whose survival was secured by the command's humanitarian operations. The site sits on ten acres of Peace Gardens, and the memory is held across 23 walls of names, with 271 panels listing almost 58,000 people who died. Among the landmarks are the 102ft Memorial Spire, built to the wingspan of an Avro Lancaster, and the Chadwick Centre with its three exhibition galleries. It's a Visit England Quality Assured attraction and a Sandford Award winner, with recognition, remembrance, reflection and education at its core.

So, you'll be making your wreath within that context. The workshop runs on Thursday 10 December, from 19:00 to 21:00, at the International Bomber Command Centre on Canwick Avenue, Lincoln, LN4 2HQ. Tickets are £40.00, and the session is limited to 25 people, so it's a small group rather than a crowded room.
