Lottie will lead you step-by-step in crafting your own natural Christmas wreath. All materials are provided, with optional extras welcome. Children are invited to join under adult supervision, with separate tickets required if they wish to make their own wreath.
Braziers Park Midwinter Retreat
Join us at Braziers Park for our Midwinter Retreat – a gentle, restorative gathering to rest, reflect, and reconnect as we move from the old year into the new. Step away from the Christmas rush and the noise of the season and take these few days to slow down and enjoy the quiet beauty of midwinter. This retreat offers space to unwind, to share food and conversation and to be part of a gentle rhythm of community life. Each day will follow a relaxed rhythm of shared activity, conversation, and stillness, with space to read, dream, or simply be. Together we will mark the turning of the year with simplicity, presence, and care, whilst creating time to breathe deeply and begin anew.
