Christmas Wreathing at Ely Cathedral
Participants gather in the Lady Chapel to design and craft a living holiday wreath guided by Wild Oak Workshops. Using a natural willow base, attendees weave together locally harvested spruce, pine cones, hedgerow teasels, berried ivy, eucalyptus, cinnamon sticks, kiln-dried lime slices, and moss before finishing with a decorative ribbon. The experience also includes warming refreshments, festive nibbles, and admission into Ely Cathedral.

Tips & Advice

- Wear a warm coat, as the workshop information says the Lady Chapel has only underfloor heating.
- If driving, consider Barton Road, Forehill or Ship Lane car parks for free all-day parking after 8.30am.
- Allow time to find the Lady Chapel; the directions say to follow signs left after walking up the main aisle.
- For future workshop bookings, email early because places are limited; include your mobile number and any seating requests.
