Festive Wreath Making Workshop

Date: 4th & 7th December 2025

Get into the Christmas spirit with a magical wreath-making workshop at the Medieval Mile Museum this December, held as part of Yulefest Kilkenny in collaboration with Festina Lente.

Surrounded by twinkling lights and seasonal cheer, you’ll be guided in creating your own beautiful wreath using sustainably foraged natural greenery from their own sensory garden.

Festina Lente is a delightful creative space nestled in the heart of Bray, County Wicklow. Their beautifully maintained Victorian walled gardens, dating back to the 1780s, are designed to engage all the senses, offering a rich tapestry of textures, scents, and colours that inspire creativity and calm.

The greenery used in our wreath-making workshop is freshly gathered, eco-friendly, and sustainably foraged from these gardens, bringing colour, texture, and the scent of Christmas while inspiring creativity and calm. By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a handcrafted wreath brimming with festive spirit and tradition.

Choose from an adults-only evening workshop for a relaxed night of creativity and sparkle, or join one of our Sunday family sessions, where adults and children can craft together and share in the joy of the season.
