About this event
Come and join Trudi Edmunds, our resident wreath-making tutor for more than 12 years, to create your own stunning wreath using freshly-foraged greenery from the beautiful grounds of Rougham Estate. This half-day workshop will leave you feeling festive and inspired to make more!
What Will I do?
- You will begin by foraging for fresh Nordmann fir pine sprigs and holly from the Estate grounds
- Learn how to craft a traditional wreath from start to finish, using a natural reusable ring base
- Discover the best techniques for sustainable wreath making and learn how to make embellishments using pine cones, dried fruits, cinnamon sticks, ribbons and more!
- Receive step by step guidance from Trudi and take home your very own handmade wreath!
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 16 and over
- Beginners welcome, no prior experience needed
- Anyone looking to be creative, get hands-on and enjoy a festive afternoon out.
Enjoy a fun and creative few hours, and leave with a beautiful Christmas wreath made by you, as well as all the skills to make sustainable wreath for years to come.

Be impressed by the standard of the talent of the artisans at the Blackthorpe Barn this weekend, and for the next 5 weekends. It’s worth coming just to be amazed at what dedicated craftspeople can create as well as finding unique gifts and delightful treats for yourself.
The range of crafts is huge, with around 50 makers from around the country coming to the Barn each weekend. Some makers are only here for one weekend, others stay for multiple weekends; there is always something new to see.
Online day tickets are £2.50, which is cheaper than a cup of coffee and the online season ticket is a bargain at £10 for entry to all 10 days - come and go as you please! Children 16 and under have free entry. Prices on the door: £3/day, £12/season.

In and amongst all the activities that have been going on with Pumpkins and Christmas, it hasn’t stopped the farming on the Estate.
We’ve recently been harvesting the sugar beet and if you look closely, you can see the steam coming from the sugar beet factory in background. That’s how close our footprint is!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
