At our Autumn Wreath Workshop at Stafford Castle, you will weave your own beautiful willow garland by making a simple hoop and then choose from our collection of gorgeous dried flowers and grasses, ribbon and hessian to decorate it. This workshop is suitable for beginners and is a perfect introduction to willow weaving; you will have expert guidance on hand to help and there will be examples and designs to follow if you desire.

This workshop is incredibly relaxing and mindful, so why not come along and get in the autumn spirit in the most peaceful way!

Choose from a wide variety of threads, colours and designs to create a scatter cushion for your home in the way you choose. Our resident seamstress will be on hand to help you learn some basic hand sewing techniques whilst making your items, including attaching a button and making a buttonhole, sewing a popper and more. Guidance and refreshments will be provided.
