🌿 Christmas Wreath Making

There will be lots of optional extras like Eucalyptus bunches and berries along with our wreath bar with a selection of decorations to finish your wreath, all individually priced to suit all budgets. 

🕯️ Christmas Table Centrepieces

Design a gorgeous festive centrepiece to take pride of place on your Christmas table. We will have a selection of vessels for your centrepiece arrangement, subject to availability, from rustic terracotta pots to ceramic vases for you to create your festive table centrepiece finished with a choice of candles. 

Prices start at £25 for a rustic terracotta pot through to £65 for a large circular centrepiece. You will have the access to the wreath bar to add additional decorations (individually priced) along with a choice of candles in various festive colours.

If you would like to reserve a table centre vessel in advance, please get in touch and we can pop one aside for you. We will be releasing them as pre-made arrangements in our shop so you can see what we have available. 

✨ Christmas Garlands

Create a beautiful garland to dress your mantelpiece, staircase or home for the festive season. 

Prices start at £40 for a 4ft spruce garland with the option to purchase additional festive greenery such as eucalyptus and berries for you to create a more luxurious garland along with access to the wreath bar decorations (individually priced). 

How does the Grotto work?

Our Christmas Greystone Grotto is designed as a relaxed, self-guided creative experience rather than a taught workshop.

We'll provide printed step-by-step guides, examples for inspiration and all the materials needed for your chosen creation. You're welcome to take your time, get creative and enjoy making something at your own pace.

It's particularly suited to those who have attended wreath-making workshops before, or anyone who feels confident having a go themselves.

Please note: There won't be a dedicated instructor demonstrating or guiding you through the process. Our team will be on hand for general assistance, but you'll be creating independently using our guides and examples.

Make it extra festive!
