Lincoln’s parks are gearing up for a busy December as a full programme of Christmas craft workshops opens to adults, teens, and children. The sessions, delivered by the city’s park rangers, offer a practical and hands-on way for residents to prepare for the festive season.
Adult workshops focus on traditional wreath and garland making, with multiple sessions scheduled across the city. St Swithin’s Community Centre will host a wreath workshop on 4 December, followed by a session at Boultham Park Bowls Pavilion on 5 December. Hartsholme Country Park will run morning and afternoon workshops on 6 and 7 December. A dedicated garland session will also be held at Hartsholme’s Visitor Centre on 8 December, with morning and afternoon options available. Each adult workshop costs £30 and must be booked in advance.
Families can also get involved through activities aimed at younger children. A Toddler Time session for under-fives will take place at Hartsholme Country Park on 19 December, offering simple festive crafts. Older children can join Christmas craft sessions on 22 December at Boultham Park Bowls Pavilion in the morning and Hartsholme Country Park in the afternoon. Both children’s activities cost £4 per child.
All workshops are supported by Lincoln’s park rangers, who guide participants through seasonal projects designed to encourage creativity and festive enjoyment.
