Picture the scene: You take a stroll through frosty trees and crunchy leaves, stopping to gaze at a still lake, and when you start to feel a chill an open log fire is waiting to greet you inside. A house full of warmth, a place to sit back and relax, reading a book, hand-crafting or painting the views; with tea and coffee on donation and indoor picnic spots to inject a feeling of warmth.
If this sounds like the perfect start to the festive season, then head to Allan Bank to be enveloped in pure, uniterrupted Christmas spirit. Here's what's on offer over the festive season:
Christmas wreath making
Once the house is decorated for the festivities and the Christmas tree is in all its glory in the hall, this is the perfect time to come along to our Christmas wreath workshop.
Join our House Flower Arranger, Janet Thompson, for either a morning or an afternoon of festive fun and creativity. Use a mixture of natural foliage and decorations to create a traditional scented Christmas door wreath.
Starting from scratch, Janet will guide you through all the steps you’ll need to take home a beautiful festive wreath ready for the season ahead. She’ll provide all the materials, including holly, fir, berries, pine cones and scented dried oranges, and from there you can get creative and make your own unique wreath. For the full festive experience, mince pies and mulled wine will be available.
The wreath making workshops take place on Saturday 1 December and you can choose between the morning one at 11am-12.30pm or the afternoon at 2-3.30pm.
To book your tickets for either session, head over to our events page.
