If you are looking for a fun activity during the Eco Fair then why not join the Wreath Making workshop, learn a new skill and create a wonderful eco-friendly wreath to hang on your door. Wreath making has a long tradition, and is not just for Christmas! Today and throughout history wreaths have been made for special occasions and to celebrate the change of seasons.

At our workshop we will teach you simple techniques to create your own beautiful eco-friendly wreath. We will provide the wreath base and an abundance of natural materials from which you can create a unique seasonal wreath.We will also have some refreshments to keep you hydrated throughout the workshop.

At the end there will be an opportunity to purchase wild flower teas and locally sourced apple cider vinegar, as well as beautiful dried flower products.
