SOLD OUT

Please note that the Christmas Wreath Workshops have now sold out, but there is some availability for our Wreath Workshop & Afternoon Tea on 10 December 2025.

Join the Master Ropemakers for our popular Christmas Wreath Making Workshops at The Historic Dockyard Chatham. Bring your wreath-making ideas, choose your colour scheme, get creative and learn how to make a unique festive wreath to hang proudly on your door.

The base of your Christmas Wreath is formed from rope made by our expert craftsmen and women on our historic ropewalk, using the same techniques used for producing the finest ropes for the Royal Navy, including Nelson’s VICTORY.

The workshop will start with a welcome drink of mulled wine, tea or coffee and mince pie, before Alex Rowling, Managing Director of Master Ropemakers, guides you through the techniques for creating a traditional door wreath.

You’ll then take your place at the crafting tables and let loose to create your own wreath. Decorations will be provided, from foliage to ribbons and festive materials.

Please note The Historic Dockyard is closed to visitors and it will not be possible to explore the wider Dockyard site on the day of your workshop.

Cost£42 per person, includes rope wreath, decorations and light refreshments.
