About this event
The 15th century Swan at Lavenham Hotel and Spa is hosting two festive wreath making workshops with optional afternoon tea during the run up to Christmas.
Local florist Carole from Tulipa Botanica of Sudbury will be guiding guests in the intricate craft to create stunning wreaths in time for the festive season.
The workshops will use a natural moss or straw base decorated with a selection of natural materials such as pinecones, cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, berry sprigs and seed heads to create beautiful wreaths. When completed, they will add a sprinkle of magic to homes and front doors.
Light refreshments will be on hand during the sessions to put guests in the festive spirit. The Swan’s Holly Jolly Christmas Punch will be offered, along with some seasonal nibbles including turkey and cranberry sausage rolls and mince pies plus tea or coffee. Vegetarian options can be requested when booking.
the workshops are priced at £50 per person including all materials and the refreshments. Full payment is required when booking with free cancellation until 10 days prior to the event.
Complete your wreath making experience by pre-booking a festive afternoon tea either before or after the workshop. Served course-by-course in either the elegant Gallery restaurant or cosy lounge near an open log fire, the special festive afternoon tea menu will be available between 12pm and 4pm priced at £27.50 per person or £36.50 including a glass of Prosecco.
