Celebrate the spirit of the season with a magical afternoon of creativity at the historic Hughenden Estate. In this adults-only workshop, you’ll craft your very own full-sized decorative besom broom.

You’ll be guided step-by-step as you assemble your broom using natural materials, then embellish it to reflect your style and spirit. Choose from:
