A green leafy Christmas wreath hanging on a red door

About

Learn to make a Christmas wreath or a "Wesselbob" using natural foliage. Wesselbobs are a traditional hanging decoration hailing from West Yorkshire. These decorated, evergreen boughs, built around a spherical frame, were carried from door to door by Wassailers and carol singers in the 1800s and 1900s.

Pay what you can – all donations are very welcome and will support upkeep of this historic building and event venue. This is an unticketed, drop-in session suitable for all ages.
