Wreath Making & Festive Lunch Thursday 27 November, 11am-3pm

Join us for a celebration of creativity and seasonal indulgence on this two-hour Christmas wreath-making workshop, followed by a festive two-course lunch.

Guided by resident West Dean florist Clare Brown, learn how to craft your own bespoke festive wreath using an array of fresh foliage, natural accents, and decorative touches. Following the workshop, you can relax and enjoy a festive two-course lunch, thoughtfully prepared to complement the season. 

Whether you're joining with friends, family, or colleagues, this experience promises to be a joyful blend of hands-on creativity and delicious dining. Spaces are limited, so book early to disappointment and make this festive season truly special.
