Festive Wreath Workshop with Alicia Billyeald
After a demonstration by floral designer Alicia Billyeald, you will be guided step by step to create your own beautiful wreath using British foliage and natural seasonal decorations. The forager wreath consists of a moss base ring and seasonal foraged foliage, berries, pine cones and herbs, finished off with a raffia bow or standard red ribbon. There are also several options to upgrade your wreath with cinnamon sticks, apple and orange slices, rose hips, crab apples, pheasant feathers, sprayed ferns and cones and chillies. You can even splash out on thistles, berries and a luxury velvet bow for the ultimate festive floral wreath! (Please note, these upgrades carry an extra charge.)
Enjoy free time to explore Bath and its award-winning Christmas market. With over 150 twinkling chalets spread across the city's picturesque Georgian streets, this the perfect place to start your Christmas shopping. Packed with unique, high-quality artisan gifts made by the best local craft makers in the South West, stylish homewares, pretty Christmas decorations and speciality foods, you are guaranteed to find something special for your loved ones.
