Nothing quite says "Christmas has begun" more than hanging your very own handmade wreath on your door, and enjoying the fragrant scent of pine and cinnamon every time you walk by. Our wreath workshops ensure you control the structure as well as the design: we'll be providing mossed wreaths, but the foliage, decorations, and décor is up to you! Using estate grown foliage as well as a selection of decorations including cinnamon sticks and festive trinkets, you will leave this workshop with a wreath as individual as you are, completely handmade. 

Tickets include:

  • The Wreath Workshop 
  • Festive refreshments Including mulled wine and mince pies
  • An exclusive 15% discount voucher to use in our Gift Shop before the workshop begins (Gift Shop will close at 6pm)

Quiet Sessions: The Christmas Cavity Calamity Mini Panto

5th Dec - 12th Dec from 10.00am - 11.00am

Tickets now live - click here to book

We are hosting two Quiet Sessions of our Mini Panto this year, designed for children with special educational needs and disabilities, such as ASD or sensory processing disorders, to enjoy a Christmas panto in a more relaxed environment. 

Some changes to expect include:

1. The music which forms a part of the show, and which is played as children come into the Hall will be kept significantly quieter. The interactive elements of the show which involve singing and dancing will still be included to help provide a multi-sensory experience.

2. Our elf, where possible, will be signing the show for any children who understand BSL.

3. We have allocated more time at the end of the show for children to meet Father Christmas and have a photo with him. We understand some children may be very chatty and others may want to leave the show as soon as it's over. If children are uncomfortable with speaking to Father Christmas but would still like their Christmas wishes passed on, Mother Christmas and her elf will come to them instead.

4. Capacity for these shows have been decreased from 80 tickets, to 50 tickets. 

 

Tickets on sale from 10am on 10th September. Performances all take place in December.
