About this event

Join us for a festive workshop as part of our Late Night Art & Shopping event - there will even be festive cocktails available from Blend for those who fancy a little tipple whilst you craft (Blend will also have plenty of other non-alcoholic options and hot drinks too).

Festive decorations needn't cost the earth - or your bank balance!

Crafting whizz Holly Nowak aka The Hungry Ghost will be running the session, join in to make your very own festive decorations from recycled materials including paper, fabric, baked oranges, cinnamon sticks and more! Holly will guide you through the steps of making unique and cheerful decorations for your home whether you fancy paperchains and stars or garlands and wreaths. Why not see what you can turn your hand to?

Our shop and galleries will be open late so you can make a night of it! Browse for handmade gifts in Shop Contemporary, check out a live musical performance from rarescale in galleries 1 and 2, drop in to our festive workshop in Blend and finish the night with a delicious beverage, or two - and it's all for free!

Even though this is a drop in session we do encourage you to book a free spot to make sure you don't miss out!
