Christmas craft workshops

Add a touch of homemade charm to your festive season with a Christmas craft workshop and learn how to create colourful decorations and memorable gifts. Please note that the below events are from last year. We'll share Christmas 2025 events as soon as possible.

Learn new skills at a Christmas craft workshop

There are lots of Christmas craft workshops happening at the places we care for, and many are suitable for the whole family. You can make snowman pompoms, a Christmas table centrepiece or a willow woven star. In the warmth of the Watermill Tearoom at Dunster Castle, Somerset, make a festive decoration at a needle felting workshop – there’s a hot drink and festive bite included. At Ilam Park in Dovedale you can forage for natural materials before creating your own festive wreath to take home. Or discover macramé at Rowallane Garden in County Down, where you can make decorations that will become part of your family's traditions, reappearing year after year.
