So – it is officially Autumn. The time has come to come out, and say the word. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. There – not so scary after all. To soften the edges and get out of an awkward vol-au-vant filled afternoon, sign up for one of our wreath workshops. Not only do you get to hide away from all that, but you come out of it with a handmade Wreath to hang proudly on your door, so you know, really, it needs doing!

Here’s our Wreath Workshop Time table for your festive pleasure. Places are £50 and includes all the equipment you need to make a big, wildy, proper wreath! Refreshments and lunch also provided. Come dressed warm and cosy and we sort out the rest.

Wild Sussex is the prettiest, most rusic little woodyard in the whole of Sussexdom. In amongst the Christmas Trees, in the yard, we drink hot chocolates and get our Wreath On. There is a little shop on site selling trees, foliage, mistletoe for kissing under and handmade bits and bobs. It’s always worth a visit, any time of year, especially when you are getting yourself in to festive mode. No plastic crap in site.

SATURDAY 10th 11am Wild Sussex Wood Yard, Stopham, Nr Pulborough. SOLD OUT SATURDAY 10th 2pm Wild Sussex Wood Tard, Stopham, Nr Pulborough. PLACES AVAILABLE.

BEAUTIFUL BIGNOR PARK. Bignor is the kind of Country Pile where you feel right at home! The workshop takes place out in The Stables, where Bignor hold their lovely Weddings and Events, so this is a lovely chance for Bignor Brides and Grooms to pop back and visit before / after their wedding day. We stick the log burner on so things warm up from hats and gloves to Bikini level – well Christmas jumper level at least.

The Stables, Bignor Park, Bignor, RH20 1HG.
