Wreath making at Ufton Court

Ufton Court is hosting a wreath-making workshop on Thursday 3 December, in the Tithe Barn on the grounds. It's a guided session where a professional florist takes you through making your own luxury Christmas wreath from scratch, using premium seasonal materials. The whole thing runs for two and a half hours, so you'll have plenty of time to get it right without feeling rushed, and you leave with the finished wreath to take home.

It's open to all ages, so it works as a solo thing or as something to do with a friend or family member. The barn is a great spot for it, and there's free parking on site, which makes getting there and back straightforward. Mulled wine and seasonal baked treats are included in the price, and if you fancy something a bit more celebratory, you can add chilled prosecco for an extra £20.

One of the better things about it is where the money goes: all profits from the evening go to the Ufton Court Educational Trust, so your ticket supports their work as well as getting you a wreath for the door. Just a heads-up that the organisers don't offer refunds, so make sure the date works for you before you book.

The workshop runs from 6:30 PM to 9 PM, with doors open from 6:20 PM. It's held at Ufton Court, Green Lane, Ufton Nervet, RG7 4HD, Reading, and tickets are £65.
