Refreshments:
During the workshop you will be served tea or coffee. There will also be a selection of yummy homemade cakes, with dietary requirements catered for, if stated on the booking form. However, if someone has a serious allergy, we will not be able to meet their requirements, as food is prepared in a non-industrial kitchen which will not be allergy free.
Venue:
The Coaver Club is a warm, spacious and clean building, that provides a welcoming atmosphere for our event and wheelchair access. The use of the Coaver Club has kindly been gifted to the Exeter Friends of Hospiscare.
Costs and Bookings:
£45 per person which includes all materials, tools, refreshments and the wreath you created to take home.
What You Need To Bring:
We recommend you wear clothing that you don’t mind getting messy or bring along an apron. We will supply all the resources needed to make the perfect Christmas wreath, but if you have a special decoration you wish to add to your wreath you are welcome to bring it along. You will also need to bring a box to carry your wreath home in. If not, we will provide you with a black bin liner.
