The sell-out event returns! Join us for a fun and creative way to make some homemade gifts for your loved ones this Christmas, on Saturday 13 December 2025 from 11am - 3pm.
Come and enjoy a fun filled morning making homemade Christmas presents and decorations using some of the ingredients from our famous dehydrator called Dora.
You will learn to make preserves such as chutney, kimchi, dried tomatoes in your own flavoured oil as well as Christmas decorations to infuse your home with wonderful festive smells.
We will supply a selection of festive packaging to complete your creations, ready to take home and gift to your loved ones.
A light lunch is included.
