Get into the festive spirit with a naturally beautiful workshop at The Cut. Evergreens have been used as midwinter decorations for centuries — join Dr Cath Price to learn about the traditions and make your own natural wreaths, candle rings and decorations. All materials are provided and there will be simple activities for younger children (think fir-cone owls and colourful robins) so this is a great family drop-in.
