Celebrate the season with us at The Limekiln, Dobcross, where we are hosting an evening Christmas wreath workshop in their characterful upstairs space. With festive music, seasonal treats, and guidance every step of the way, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind wreath with a mix of fresh greenery, Christmas trimmings, and dried flowers. No experience is needed, just come ready to get creative and enjoy the festive spirit.

Tickets are £58 per person and include all materials, tools, and refreshments. Please be aware that this venue does not have disability access due to stairs leading to the workshop room. If accessibility is important for you or your party, we recommend booking one of our alternative dates at our Stalybridge studio, which is fully accessible.

Spaces are limited, so early booking is highly recommended.

FAQs – The Limekiln Workshops

How long will my wreath last?
Your wreath will last around 4–5 weeks and will easily see you through the Christmas period. Many customers keep theirs in the garden and enjoy them well into March.

Do I need experience?
Not at all. We’ll guide you step by step and provide everything you need to create your wreath.

Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many people do and you’ll be warmly welcomed.

Is the venue accessible?
The workshop takes place upstairs at The Limekiln, Dobcross, and unfortunately there is no disability access. If this affects you, we recommend booking one of our Stalybridge studio workshops which is fully accessible.

What if I can’t attend?
Refunds can be offered with 7 days’ notice. Please email us at flowers@astilbeandrose.co.uk

When your flowers arrive

• Gently remove from packaging.
• Give the stems a little wiggle in the vase to loosen them.
• Use your fingers to fluff pampas, or a hair dryer on a low/warm setting held 30–50cm away.
  

Everyday care

• Keep in a dry area - no water needed.
• Handle gently, stems are delicate.
• Dried flowers and pampas last up to 3+ years; colours may fade over time.
• Light shedding is natural.
• Dust with a hair dryer or fan on a low/cool setting, 30–50cm away.
• Do not use hairspray as it changes the texture.
  

Safety

• Keep away from flames and heat (highly flammable).
• Do not digest; keep away from children and pets.
• Some stems may be dyed or treated.
• If using near food, follow hygiene guidelines.
  

Extra Large Pampas Tip

• XL pampas may look flat after transit. Use a hair dryer on a low/warm setting and blowing down the stem. Ideally do this outside to restore fluff.
