Whitworth Town Council

Christmas Craft Extravanganza

Whitworth Town Council’s Tourism and Leisure Committee have been getting in the Christmas spirit planning the Christmas Celebrations.  Following the success of previous year’s workshops, the volunteers have decided to do it all again this year with a few added extras!  The original wreath making idea was the brainchild of volunteer member, Linda Parker to recycle the Christmas tree offcuts the group produce.

The event takes place on Saturday 7th December at The Ashcroft from 10am until 4pm.  Crafters can choose between learning the art of Ukrainian egg decorating or making their own Christmas crackers from 10am until 12pm and also there will be a traditional wreath making workshop from 1pm until 4pm.  Everything will be provided to make a Ukrainian decorated egg, and attendees can personalise their Christmas crackers by bringing their own gifts for inside the crackers if they wish. Traditional, natural materials will be provided for the wreaths, although attendees are welcome to bring along decorations to customise their wreaths to their own colour scheme.  Guests will receive tea, coffee, juice and a mince pie and be entertained by Christmas tunes while they craft, the bar will also be open for those wanting to enjoy some traditional mulled wine or speciality coffee. 

Places are limited so book now to avoid disappointment!  

Please note that the Christmas cracker making is suitable from those aged 5 and above and Ukrainian egg decorating for those aged 12 and above.  All under 16s will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
