Wreath Workshops and Merry Market at Maymont

11.2024

Maymont invites the community to add a personal touch to the holidays this year with make-your-own wreath workshops, from December 3 through 7, along with the Merry Market, on December 7 and 8.

Merry Market is a holiday market with more than 75 talented local artisans gathered for two days from noon till five on the Carriage House Lawn offering a variety of handmade and creatively designed gifts for all tastes and interests. Working in nearly every type of medium, these craftspeople transform wood, clay, leather, glass, metal and all kinds of natural materials into imaginative gift items that will delight anyone on a gift list.

The weekend also offers a chance to visit with Saint Nicholas, take a ride on a holiday train, and make-your-own craft activities for the whole family, all in a festive setting with music, food and cozy fire pits, plus a Winter Wonder Bar serving a variety of merry drinks. Completing the experience, Maymont’s historic buildings and gates will be draped in fresh evergreen wreaths and garlands, and an antique Christmas sleigh from the Carriage Collection will be dressed in its holiday finest.

Anyone who wants to make their own evergreen wreath can sign up for a wreath workshop, which run from December 3 to 7 (times vary). Maymont supplies a variety of fresh greenery, wreath forms and pro tips on how to create a lush wreath, along with festive beverages to make merry (must be 21+ to participate). Wreath Workshops are $60 per person, $45 for Maymont members, and advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for evening and weekend workshops. Sign up at Maymont.org (or visit the event calendar and select December).
