Get into the festive spirit early as you make your own wreath and glass decorations on this crafty short break

Join a small group of like-minded crafters later this year on a long weekend break. In the company of local artisans, you'll enjoy two sessions (morning or afternoon) making your own Christmas wreath, as well as learning about fused glass, where you'll create a Christmas decoration and tealight holder. No experience is necessary as your experts will guide you through each craft activity, and you'll benefit from their knowledge and skills.

You'll be staying at Longmynd Hotel, which overlooks the Stretton Valley in the Shropshire Hills. The country house hotel will have a dedicated workspace for your Christmas crafting sessions, while all meals will be included during your stay.

There will also be free time to explore the local area - perhaps, you'll visit the attractive market town of Ludlow, or take a drive to Ironbridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The staff at the house can also provide you with routes and maps for walks and hikes.
