On Tuesday 1 December 2026, 10:30am–12:30pm join uur Festive Crafts workshop offering members of the Armed Forces community an opportunity to enjoy some seasonal creativity, connect with others and take time out in the beautiful surroundings of the Botanics.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is a particularly special place at this time of year, with its beautiful winter gardens offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the festive season. It’s a wonderful setting to slow down, enjoy nature and spend time in good company.
We anticipate this will be a popular workshop, so we’re sharing the details well in advance to allow plenty of time for planning during the busy festive period.
