Christmas Wreath Workshop | 9 Dec 2026 | Great Baddow

🎄 Get into the Christmas spirit and create your own beautiful, fresh Christmas wreath to take home in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop.

You'll create your wreath from scratch using a traditional wreath base, fresh seasonal greenery and a selection of festive decorations. I'll guide you through the whole process step by step, from building and securing your greenery to arranging and attaching your decorations and adding those final finishing touches.

No previous experience is needed. Whether you've never made a wreath before or simply fancy spending an evening doing something creative for Christmas, you'll be shown everything you need to know as we go.

Your ticket includes everything you need to make your wreath, including the wreath base, fresh seasonal foliage and a selection of decorations and finishing materials. All the tools you'll need will also be available to use during the workshop, so you don't need to bring anything with you.

The workshop lasts around two hours and is relaxed and informal. There'll be plenty of time to work at your own pace, ask questions and make your wreath your own.

Coming on your own? That's absolutely fine. Branch Out workshops are designed to be comfortable whether you arrive with friends or by yourself. You'll have your own project to focus on, so there's no awkward forced socialising.

You'll leave with:

• Your own handmade fresh Christmas wreath
• The skills to make a traditional wreath yourself
• Tips for caring for your wreath at home
