Get ahead of the game for Christmas 2025 and join us in October to make a native Willow Christmas Tree (Friday 24) - these make the perfect tree (18 to 24 inches tall) for a small windowsill or table. Once you have made your native Willow Christmas Tree, you can decorate it at home as you wish; simply adding LED lights will bring you handmade festive decoration to life.
These Christmas Trees are made of naturally coloured varieties of Somerset willow; the willow will have been expertly processed for your trees by our fabulous tutor, Linda MIlls.
