About: 

This winter, Longleat is hosting a Festive Workshop: a cosy indoor space filled with crafts, stories and activities celebrating all things merry and bright. Guests can make their own decoration to take home in the ‘gingerbread’ craft kitchen, challenge family and friends to a game in the play zone, and settle down to enjoy a story together, plus lots more.
