Christmas Wreath Making - followed by Festive Feast

Christmas Wreath Making
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, you are very welcome to. Your wreath will be the envy of friends and family.

Festive Feast
After the wreath making workshop you will retire to the State Drawing Room, with its 18th Century meticulously hand-painted Chinoiserie wall coverings. Warm fires set in both historic stone fireplaces will accompany your menu of delights to feast on in comfort and splendour.

Walk About Outside

Why not take a stroll around our beautiful gardens and take in the fresh winter air? Explore the Bishop's Lawn, our walled Pettinger's Garden, with its fell views, and our Apothecary's Garden. Amble through the apple orchard, or explore the Moat Woodland, past the Old Fishpond to the Main Drive - there is lots to discover!
