Christmas Table Centrepiece Workshop

Burston Garden Centre is hosting a Christmas table centrepiece workshop on Monday 14 December, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. It's a two-hour session where you make your own fresh centrepiece to take home, rather than just buying something pre-made. The whole thing is led by Lily Alley Florist, who'll be on hand to guide you through it, so you don't need to be an expert to get a decent result.

Burston is an independent garden centre in Chiswell Green, and this is part of a regular programme of family, craft and seasonal events they run throughout the year. It's not a one-off; they keep things going with a steady stream of workshops and activities, and there's an on-site restaurant if you fancy staying on for lunch after you've finished your arrangement. Lily Alley Florist also leads a Christmas wreath workshop at the centre, so if you're in the mood for a bit of festive making, there's more than one way to get involved.

Practicalities are straightforward: it's £55 for the session, and there's free parking at the garden centre, which makes it an easy trip if you're coming from around St Albans. The workshop runs from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Monday 14 December at Burston Garden Centre, North Orbital Road, Chiswell Green, AL2 2DS.
