Festive Wreath Making at Paxton House Estate | Events

Situated near Berwick-upon-Tweed in Scotland, Paxton House offers a unique seasonal experience that combines creative craftwork with the serene surroundings of an 80-acre historic estate. The Festive Wreath Making session invites adults and youth aged 16 and over to spend a thoughtfully designed afternoon in the estate’s striking picture gallery, transforming local foliage into beautiful, handcrafted wreaths. This is not your typical outdoor adventure but is firmly rooted in the natural landscape, offering a hands-on way to connect with the region’s flora and festive traditions.

Paxton House is a distinguished property that embodies the heritage of the Scottish Borders region. The estate’s wide grounds are rich with native trees and plants, which serve as the material basis for each wreath. Under the expert guidance of Jemma, a local florist from Occasions of Eyemouth, participants learn floral design techniques while sampling seasonal treats and unlimited tea or coffee in a cozy, light-filled setting.

What sets this experience apart is the seamless blend of nature, creativity, and history—crafting wreaths from freshly gathered materials right inside an elegant gallery that showcases fine art and regional culture. For visitors to this part of Scotland, the session makes a perfect complement to more rugged outdoor pursuits in the surrounding countryside, providing a calm, inspiring counterpoint.

Whether you’re a local looking to embrace seasonal traditions or a traveler seeking a distinctive activity off the beaten path, Paxton House’s wreath making offers an approachable way to immerse yourself in nature’s textures and colors during the festive season. It’s an ideal creative retreat for anyone wanting a handcrafted keepsake or a meaningful gift made in the heart of the Scottish Borders.
