Get into the festive spirit early as you join like-minded crafters and make your own Christmas candle and wreath on this short break

Under the guidance of expert artisans, you'll enjoy two craft sessions (either in the morning or afternoon) where you'll learn how to make a candle and wax melts, and a Christmas wreath.

No experience is necessary for either craft as your tutors will guide you through each step, and you'll benefit from their knowledge and expertise, while also getting to know your fellow crafters - as group sizes are no larger than 15 participants.

Stay for three nights at The Peveril Of The Peak, a country house hotel in the beautiful Peak District. The hotel benefits from extensive grounds and an outdoor terrace for soaking up countryside views - and you're within walking distance of Dovedale, the limestone valley known for its stepping stones.

During the break, all your meals are included, so you can focus fully on your crafting sessions. On your arrival, you'll also indulge in a delicious cream tea.

Should you wish to explore the local area between craft sessions, the staff at the house can provide you with routes and maps for walks and hikes.
