Festive Gin Tasting Masterclass
Gin used to be the exclusive drink of choice for your visiting Aunt at Christmas – now, with the resurgence in Gin, everyone can get involved this year! Gin has a long history, especially in London, and has been a sought-after drinking for centuries. Fortunately, the days of ‘Mother’s ruin’ and Hogarth’s ‘Gin Lane’ are long gone, and in recent years the Gin scene has really developed to include a whole range of different styles. There are now many micro-distilleries to be found, producing small-batch artisanal Gin alongside our tried and tested favourites. So if you’ve ever wondered what is the difference between the various styles and why, this is the workshop for you! During the evening you will get to try several different styles of Gin, discover how Genever, as it once was known, came to be Gin as we know it now, you’ll discuss the different production methods and how the different botanicals affect the overall flavour. You will also be able to try each gin with different mixers to see what effect it has on the taste. You’ll be trying some London Dry, some salty numbers, spicy numbers, floral ones and foreign ones: come along and find a new favourite!
Succulent Wreath Making Workshop
In this workshop, you’ll learn to make a beautiful succulent wreath. Your finished product is the perfect addition to decorate your home with during the Christmas season, or year round.

This long-lasting wreath will see you through the festivities and on into the new year. You’ll learn how to harness your green thumb and unleash your creativity to curate something different and ready for the festive season.
