Festive Wreath Workshop

Ascott is hosting a Festive Wreath Workshop on Saturday 5 December, just as the December rush starts to kick in. It's a wreath-making session, so you'll spend the morning putting together your own festive wreath to take home and hang up for the season.

If you've never been, Ascott is a fine Jacobean house in Buckinghamshire, looked after by the National Trust. It's home to superb collections and gardens, so it's a bit more than just a backdrop for the morning — you're making your wreath in the grounds of a proper historic house, which puts the whole thing in a different light than a high-street craft class.

The workshop starts at 10:00, so it's a morning thing rather than a full day. You'll be working through the process of building a wreath from scratch, and you'll leave with the finished piece ready for your own door. It's a good way to get something sorted for the house before the Christmas madness really takes hold.

It's on Saturday 5 December at 10:00 at Ascott, in Milton Keynes.
