Symondsbury Estate are thrilled to be partnering again with Emma and Lucy at Meadowsweet Flowers, in bringing two days and two nights of festive flora and fauna.
With expert tuition, you will be shown step-by-step how to create your own signature show stopping yuletide wreath in this relaxed, enchanting and seasonal workshop. All materials are included and sustainably and locally sourced, so get creative using festive favourites such as holly berries, eucalyptus, spruce and rosemary, and don’t worry, no experience is necessary! Mulled wine, cider or a glass of fizz and mince pies will also be provided, as no Christmas workshop would be complete without these!
