[PAST EVENT] Christmas Crafts and Buffet

When is it?

Thursday 4th December | 10am- 3pm

How much is it?

£5 per workshop or £10 for both! (Includes refreshments and a light Christmas buffet!)

Head down to EVI this December for a relaxed festive day with Christmas wellbeing crafts, refreshments, and a light Christmas buffet – all included in your ticket.

Go Explore Learn will be running eco-inspired wellbeing craft activities that help you unwind, tap into your creativity, and enjoy making something beautiful this festive season. A great opportunity to meet new people and treat yourself!

Journaling for Wellbeing (10am–12 noon):
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll discover hand-binding techniques and build a unique notebook from a mix of book and magazine pages. You’ll learn about “signatures” and the three-hole (pamphlet stitch) binding method. The notebook you make can be kept or gifted.

Crafting with Driftwood (1pm–3pm):
Make a charming set of driftwood cottages set in a wintery scene – a lovely decoration that you can keep or give to someone for Christmas.

A light Christmas buffet and refreshments will be served in the EVI Café at lunchtime (included in your ticket).
