House or House & Courtyard
Filled with Sweets?

Come along to the Gingerbread Grotto and decorate your own little gingerbread houses and shapes!

NEW!! - Choose between a House or a "House & Courtyard" - add a little board to make your own little garden for your house!  You can do either at the same workshop

Workshops are suitable for anyone old enough to stick a sweet on a biscuit!  Children must bring an adult with them, adults don't have to bring a child.

Sweets galore and the only limit is your imagination!

Discounts for booking more than 2 places

Each workshop lasts about an hour and a half to two hours, depending on numbers, and includes decorating and putting together a little gingerbread house and decorating a large shaped biscuit such as a gingerbread man/lady, Christmas tree, snowflake, etc.  The "House & Courtyard" option includes a little board to act as a garden for your house.

The icing will then need to set before you can take your house home with you, so you'll leave your creations with me and I'll package them up nicely for you, ready for you to collect a few days later.  Houses are packaged in a clear gift bag, House & Courtyard in a presentation box.

I know you'll want to take something away with you on the day, so that's what the biscuit is for - although if you would prefer to leave them with me to package nicely as a gift (for an additional cost), that's no problem

Additional houses and biscuits may be decorated for an additional charge and you can turn your house into a pinata house, full of sweets, for an additional £4.50pp (this covers the additional sweets as well as the additional work I'll need to do to fill them after the workshop).

If you would like to decorate additional houses or biscuits, or have items giftwrapped, please book the standard places here and let me know by email, I will then send you an individual payment request for the additional items.

Please drop me a line before booking if you would like to decorate lots of additional houses and/or biscuits, as we can then arrange a longer time slot.

I can also run workshops for private groups, parties and companies, please get in touch for bespoke packages.

Please note:  It is unfortunately not possible to accommodate allergen-friendly options at general workshops.  Please get in touch if you would like to book a private workshop (minimum 6 people), where we might be able to accommodate allergy-friendly options

Every one of our gingerbread goodies is lovingly hand-made, so each item will be individually different and not exactly the same as in the images shown

 

We offer some of our goodies as options that are made with gluten-free and/or dairy-free ingredients.

Every care is taken to keep these items separate from gluten and/or dairy sources, they are made with ingredients that do not contain these allergens, but they are made in a kitchen that does handle these allergens at other times.

Please note that these are not guaranteed to be 100% allergen free so we do not call them gluten-free or dairy-free. 

Please contact us if you have any questions.

For non-gluten items we use Freee gluten free flour and sweets that do not contain wheat or gluten.

For non-dairy items we use Flora Plant Butter and sweets that do not contain milk or other dairy products.  While the gingerbread does not contain soya, some sweets may still contain soya products - please see ingredients page.

Please note that pictures used do not necessarily show the allergen-friendly items
