Festive wreath making

The castle’s gardeners lead step-by-step workshops in Walker’s House. Each wreath is biodegradable, built on a moss base from seed heads and greenery foraged in the castle’s Wild Gardens, with dried flowers, pine cones, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks and ribbon supplied. You can bring your own seed heads or decorations. Mulled wine, hot drinks and sweet treats are included. (Festive Wreath Making, Rockingham Castle)
