What our customers think…

“I loved every moment of creating my Christmas Wreath in the workshop. I felt instantly Christmassy with the beautiful decorations, music and Christmas food and drink! Thank you, I would love to do it again next year. I felt a huge sense of pride having created the wreath for my front door!!”

Lucinda Longster

“I attended the most beautiful workshop to make a Christmas Wreath 🎄 I was a little nervous as I’ve never made anything before but Emma was so welcoming and showed me step by step what to do.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and the food beautiful 😍 I’ll definitely be doing more!”

Cheryl White

“Huge thanks to Emma Semper Hopkins, who delivered the most amazing Christmas wreath-making workshop in her fabulously festive chapel. From the thoughtful decor details which captured the spirit of the season, to the delicious buffet to the compassionate approach to teaching creativity, everything was perfect. I felt truly able to leave the world at the door and immerse myself in an activity which was so therapeutic – and in wonderful company with other crafters. Emma’s materials were first rate and her smart choices made me feel like I was doing something sustainable rather than buying an ‘off the peg’ plastic wreath that would have harmed the environment. I loved being able to choose my own foliage and adornments, and create something that felt truly ‘me’ while seeing everyone else’s visions come to life in a fun, supportive atmosphere. When I look back at Christmas 2024, this workshop was truly one of the highlights. Thank you, Emma. I really appreciate and value how much effort and care you put into delivering such a wonderful experience.”
