A Grade II* listed garden is hosting a range of Christmas events this year. Borde Hill, near Haywards Heath, has announced its “programme full of festive joy” for families and garden lovers. Festive craft workshops will be on offer, including watercolour Christmas card making led by expert botanical artist Penny Sanderson.
Guests will also get to enjoy a mince pie and a hot drink. A Christmas candle making workshop will be held by the founder of Worthing-based business Wax and Willow, while professional florist Barbara Mole will lead “relaxed” two-hour workshops on crafting Christmas wreaths. Guests can make their own Christmas wreath out of organic material sourced from the estate (Image: Borde Hill) Young visitors to the gardens can enjoy an “enchanting trail” through the grounds, aimed at children aged between three and eight.
Tickets are £4.50. READ MORE: Autumn splendour at Grade II* listed Sussex garden There will also be a chance to visit Santa in his grotto each weekend during the same period, where children can take part in festive crafts, including creating a door hanger to guide Santa on his way.
