Liz and Ruth from Rose Castle’s friendly Gardening team will guide you all the way as you design and make a beautiful and individual Christmas wreath for your home, using evergreens, berries, seedheads and all-natural materials from the Rose Castle gardens.

You’ll need to bring a pair of secateurs / strong scissors and a pair of gloves but otherwise all the materials you need will be provided. If you would like to bring anything specific to add in from your own garden or Christmas collections you are very welcome to. Your wreath will be the envy of friends and family.

After a joyful morning of wreath making, settle in for a warming spread created by our Head Chef Noel. His menu is full of seasonal favourites, hearty bites, and sweet treats to share - just the thing to bring everyone together and celebrate the festive season in comfort and cheer.

You will retire to the State Drawing Room, with its 18th Century meticulously hand-painted Chinoiserie wall coverings. Warm fires set in both historic stone fireplaces will accompany your menu of delights to feast in comfort and splendour.

Event starts at 9am, finishing at 2.30pm.
