Glasgow’s gorgeous Hidden Gardens are worth visiting at any time of the year; their fabric wreath-making workshop sounds like the perfect way to spend a pre-Christmas Sunday afternoon (Sunday 23 November). Braw Wee Craft Club’s Christmas workshops (dates vary) will have the most determined Christmas-cynic carolling ‘Ding Dong Merrily On High’: make your own pom-pom wreath, cosy up with an arm-knitted blanket or create your own tree decorations.

If you feel like combining a winter walk with your workshop, Fife’s Falkland Estate has a super-sweet day of willow wreath-weaving workshops (Saturday 6 December). Try saying that after a mulled wine. Or head to Dundee for DCA’s Christmas Crafternoons (dates vary), where you’ll use eco-friendly materials to craft wreaths, paper stars and hand-stitched cards.

Edinburgh Craft Club’s Christmas programme is full of great sessions (the ink glass baubles look gorgeous) or go bespoke and set up a wee private party with pals or colleagues. They’re also teaming up with Rabble to host wreath-making-with-cocktails sessions (dates vary). Or head to Dalkeith Country Park’s WinterFest, which includes kids’ and adult workshops like gingerbread house-building and wreath-making, alongside ice-skating, Santa visits and festive shopping evenings.
