Participants can create wreaths using sustainable, upcycled, and reusable materials, making for a beautifully eco-friendly decoration.
Leading the workshops is charity volunteer Claire, who works as Head of Product Design at Sussex University and is an expert in circular economy design. Claire will guide attendees in crafting one-of-a-kind wreaths, with all proceeds supporting Sussex Emmaus’s vital mission to help individuals rebuild their lives after experiencing homelessness.

The family workshop is priced at £45 for one adult and one child, including all materials, mince pie, non-alcoholic mulled wine, and hot chocolate for children.

Rachida Zitouni, Business Manager at Sussex Emmaus, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome the community to these sustainable wreath-making events.
