For those with a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Workshops are a true highlight. Led by expert chocolatier Oli The Choc, these sessions offer the chance to step into the world of artisan chocolate and learn professional techniques in a fun and relaxed setting.

Create your own handcrafted truffles, design chocolate bars with delicious toppings and discover the secrets behind working with high-quality chocolate. There are also dedicated children’s sessions at weekends, making this a delightful treat for the whole family.

It is indulgent, interactive and utterly delicious.

Creativity flourishes at the Ideal Home Show, and the seasonal floral workshops are a celebration of colour, texture and craftsmanship. Learn how to design stunning arrangements and decorative pieces inspired by the time of year, from charming wreaths to delicate pressed flower creations.

If home styling is more your passion, the Home Décor Workshops offer the opportunity to craft stylish pieces that add personality to your space. These sessions are perfect for anyone looking to elevate their interiors with handmade touches and thoughtful detail.

Both are welcoming, informative and ideal for beginners as well as seasoned makers who want to refine their skills.
