A weekend of artisan wreath making and tranquil River Wye fishing, with boutique 1 or 2 night countryside stays.
Wreath Making Included • Light Continental Breakfast • Strictly Limited
The Atmosphere
A Joyful Festive Craft
Step away from the winter chill and into the welcoming glow of the Granary, warmed by soft candlelight and festive music. The rich, woodsy scent of freshly cut Scots pine, blue noble fir, eucalyptus, and dried winter oranges fills the air.
Gather around oak tables, laden with mossed bases, velvet ribbons, gamekeeper feathers, and foraged hedgerow botanicals. Guided by master artisan Zoe Verry, you will weave a luxurious showpiece that is entirely yours.
Between crafting, enjoy peaceful hours by the River Wye, quiet countryside walks, and cozy accommodation at The Granary.
Meet the Maker
Master Artisan Zoe Verry
A passionate florist and botanical designer whose instinctive connection to the Welsh borders shapes every wreath she crafts. Zoe pairs soft velvet ribbons and gamekeeper pheasant feathers with frosted blue pine, glossy rosehips, and foraged seed pods.
"A winter wreath shouldn't feel manufactured. It should carry the scent of damp moss, the wild silhouette of local spruce, and the gentle touch of woodland textures."
