Treetorial: How To Style & Decorate Your Tree This Year

John Lewis Reading is running a Christmas tree masterclass on Saturday 21 November, called Treetorial: How To Style & Decorate Your Tree This Year. It's led by their Home Design Stylists, who'll walk you through every step of putting together a show-stopping tree: picking the right shape and size for your space, calculating how many lights you actually need to get full coverage, and settling on a decorating theme that holds it all together. The session includes live styling demonstrations, so you'll see the process in action rather than just hearing about it.

Beyond the basics, there's a preview of the store's favourite hand-picked ornaments and the lowdown on their four signature decorating themes for 2026. If you're still figuring out your look, that's where the real value is — seeing the curated collections and the different directions you can take before you start buying. It's a good way to get a handle on the whole thing in one go, from the first branch to the final bauble, rather than winging it as you go.

Attendance is exclusive to My John Lewis members, though you can book additional tickets for guests if you want to bring someone along. The masterclass runs from 11 am to 12 pm on the second floor in the Home Design Department at John Lewis Reading, Broad Street, RG1 2BB. Tickets are £10, which is redeemable against any Christmas tree or decoration purchases you make on the day, so if you're planning on picking up your tree or some new ornaments anyway, the session effectively pays for itself. You can book your spot through Eventbrite.
