Crafty types should add this Christmas activity to their bucket lists: wreath making classes. With mulled wine, mince pies and festive vibes as standard, here’s what we’ll be booking for 2023 – plus the DIY kits to try at home.

Best Wreath Making Classes 2023

Ivy House

The newly-launched picturesque countryside retreat Ivy House is kicking off its first festive season with a series of wreath making workshops. Set in the heart of the South Downs inside a magnificent farmhouse barn, visitors will be greeted with mince pies and mulled wine by a crackling fire, before the creativities begin. Kelly, Ivy House Life’s founder, will guide you through the seasonal wreath workshop, using entirely natural materials.

Details: Workshops will take place on 30 November and 1, 2, 7, 9, 12, 13 and 14 December at Ivy House (Ivyhouse Ln, Petersfield GU32 1EE). Spaces for each workshop are limited, cost £75 per person and can be booked at ivyhouse.life.

Shangri-La The Shard

The Shard’s crowning glory, the Shangri-La hotel, will open the doors of one of its spectacular suites to host a series of festive wreath-making workshops this November and December. Magical London skyline views are, of course, to be expected, plus a glass of champagne and freshly-baked mince pies will be enjoyed while attendees learn from the masters at Raw Bloom how to craft a perfect wreath, using fresh pine, dried fruits and florals and an apron to take home. Once happy with their creation, guests will be invited to enhance the aroma of their wreath by spritzing it with ‘Christmas Trees: A Lifestyle Fragrance’ by Jo Loves, featuring notes of fresh Pine with aromatic Lavender, Incense and Amber.
