🌲 Christmas Wreath Workshop, Friday 28th November 2025, 7–9pm
The Limekiln Cafe, Wool Rd, Dobcross, Oldham OL3 5NS
Join us for a festive evening of creativity at The Limekiln in Dobcross. In this cosy upstairs space, we’ll guide you step by step as you design your own wreath using fresh greenery, festive accents, and plenty of our signature dried flowers. Expect music, seasonal nibbles, and a warm Christmas atmosphere while you create something truly special to take home.
Tickets are £58 per person and include all materials, tools, and refreshments. Please note, this venue does not have disability access as the event takes place upstairs. If this affects you or your guests, we recommend booking one of our Stalybridge studio dates instead, where the space is fully accessible.
Spaces are limited and booking is essential to secure your seat at the workbench.
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.

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.
