What better way to start your celebrations than to come to our “Wreath making Workshop" at Rose Castle this Christmas?

A chance to craft your own hand-made, unique, sustainable Christmas wreath in our atmospheric State Dining Room, followed by a sumptuous Festive Feast by the fire in the historic Chinese Drawing Room.

Christmas Wreath Making - followed by Festive Feast

Liz and Ruth from Rose Castle’s friendly Gardening team will guide you all the way as you design and make a beautiful and individual Christmas wreath for your home, using evergreens, berries, seedheads and all-natural materials from the Rose Castle gardens. You’ll need to bring a pair of secateurs/strong scissors and a pair of gloves but otherwise all the materials you need will be provided. If you would like to bring anything specific to add in from your own garden or Christmas collections that’s fine. Your wreath will be the envy of friends and family.

We look forward to welcoming you to this Amazing event!
