Willow Workshop

  • Derby City Council Craft Village, Markeaton Park Derby UK (map)

Willow Workshop

After a great demonstration at last year's event creating a dragonfly for Markeaton Park, this year Emma Parkins will be running free drop-in willow weaving workshops. Families can come along to create their very own willow Christmas tree to take home!

Derbyshire Rocks

will be making an appearance over the weekend, so families can bring along their home decorated stones and rocks and hide them along their walks for others to find. In Markeaton Park Craft Village, kids can post their letters to Father Christmas at the North Pole post box, enjoy playing with the free games set up outdoors and snap a selfie with the Christmas Tree.

Elf Trail

Follow the map around the park to find the elf houses: completed entries will be put into a prize draw with the chance of winning some treats. Once they have found the elves, children can visit Markeaton Park Craft Village to try and spot Father Christmas’s nine reindeer who are playing hide and seek.
