Enjoy a celebration of Christmas with a creative retreat at Brook Meadow, Leicestershire
With less than two months to Christmas, book now and get Christmas off to a wonderfully creative start by combining an exclusive Christmas floristry and festive tablescape course with a three-night luxury lodge stay at Brook Meadow, the 20-acre award-winning lakeside lodges in Leicestershire.
Arrive at Brook Meadow on Friday 22nd November and choose either a one- or a two-day creative retreat, led by Nicola Ash from La Fete Fleurie.
On the two-day course spend Saturday morning immersed in flowering, creating a festive wreath out of only natural materials and decorated with layers of foliage, ivy, fir cones, dried flowers, and rose hips. Then on Sunday focus on festive tablescapes and a mix of hands-on activities and demonstrations. Make pomanders, a mini swag, and a flower bauble to take home at the end of the day, and watch Nicola demonstrate festive table settings and centrepieces, natural gift wrapping, and handmade gift ideas. Alternatively, just relax at the lodge on Saturday and choose to join the Sunday activities.
All materials are provided, along with a seasonal vegetarian lunch and festive refreshments, in Nicola's beautiful oak-framed flower barn studio a mile from Brook Meadow.
Nicola Ash commented, "I adore everything about Christmas—the sounds, sights, smells, festivities, and gifts—and I'm thrilled to be sharing a little of this joy with Brook Meadow's guests. Christmas can also be overwhelming, so I'm hoping that this course will allow guests to relax while making lovely Christmas treats and enjoying a peaceful, mindful time—all while secretly checking things off their Christmas to-do list! Making handmade gifts for loved ones, embellishing them with flowers, and beautifully wrapping them produces a far more meaningful gift to give or keep for oneself to enjoy with friends and family during the Christmas season."
Accommodation will be in a choice of luxury lodges at Brook Meadow. Options include Woodpecker's contemporary boutique chic interiors; the cabin-like exposed beams and cosy fireplace of Kingfisher or the pastel decor and spacious layout of Skylark.
The Celebration of Christmas Retreat, is only available to up to six individuals and friends staying in the lakeside lodges.
Accommodation in a lodge based on two people sharing includes a luxury hamper of locally sourced goodies upon arrival. Non-participating guests are welcome to stay at the lodge.
