Winter Wreath Wire Workshop with Lise Bennett at Shining Cliff Hostel

Join us for a fun and super creative workshop using wire to create your very own wreath to take home!

Join us at Shining Cliff Hostel, the perfect backdrop for an immersive artistic experience. This workshop offers you the chance to unwind, connect with nature, and tap into your creative side for the day.

Lise is a Neighbourhood Creative Agent and the session is part-funded by the Arts Council; the normal price of this session is £65, which is reduced to just £25 for the full day workshop.

Shining Cliff hostel is located in the heart of Shining Cliff woods near Ambergate, and is only accessible by foot along woodland footpaths. It is possible to walk up through the woods from the train station or bus stops at Ambergate, or to walk down to the hostel from the private woodland car park, which is half a mile away from the hostel. Directions are provided on booking.

Owing to the location of Shining Cliff hostel, it is necessary for participants to be able to walk along uneven and sloping woodland footpaths to get to the hostel.

The workshop will take place in the open plan lounge & dining area with fantastic views out onto the ancient woodland.

Occasionally a session is cancelled at short notice if there are high winds/thunderstorms forecast. If the session is cancelled for weather conditions you will be fully refunded.

On booking the workshop you will receive a confirmation email and a link to the directions for the session. Please follow these directions if you have not been to the hostel before, as satnav will take you to the wrong side of the woods! You will get a reminder of the directions a few days before the event.

If you are unable to attend after purchasing a ticket, we can refund your ticket (minus the Eventbrite processing fee)if it is more than 7 days before the workshop, but we are unable to refund tickets 7 days or fewer before the workshop.

It is possible to extend your experience in this stunning woodland by booking a bed at the hostel for just £25 per adult/night and £15/child.

It is possible to book a private bedroom on the Wednesday or Thursday night. The hostel has 5 bedrooms available, all with bunk beds. You can request a room to yourself, or if you are booking with friends, there are 2-bed, 4-bed and 6-bed rooms available to book.

If you book on the Wednesday night you can arrive from 5pm onwards, and we will be at the hostel setting up for the session from 8:30am on Thursday. The departure time on Friday morning will be 10am.

If you add a room booking at Shining Cliff hostel you will receive a Welcome Pack that includes information on accessing the hostel and what you need to bring with you.
