With hands-on experience leading a range of creative workshops at EverWild—a well-loved florist based in central Nottingham—she brings warmth\, creativity\, and a personal touch to every floral experience she curates. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Please bring your own gardening gloves and a pair of garden secateurs if you have them. Everything else will be provided. \n\n\n\nPrice: £75.00 per person (inclusive of a 2-hour workshop with full guidance\, all materials including a 12” festive wreath with moss base\, refreshments\, 2-course hot/cold buffet lunch and the opportunity to join the Launde Abbey Community’s Midday Prayer Service) \n\n\n\nSpaces are limited\, so gather your friends or come along solo — either way\, you’ll leave with festive cheer in your heart and a beautiful handmade wreath to show for it. \n\n\n\nA Launde Abbey Fundraising Event. \n\n\n\nTo book your place\, please call 01572 717254 or email info@launde.org.uk.

Our Quiet Day will ponder the words of Zechariah to reflect on a life of holiness and hope in the light of God’s new dawn arriving in the birth of Jesus. This will be a time to tune into the heart beat of the old priest’s prayer as he anticipated a new future for the people of God. \n\n\n\nJohn Rackley offers this day as a gentle pause before the demands of the pre-Christmas season are upon us. He is a member of Launde Abbey’s College of Chaplains and a minister at Christchurch in Clarendon Park\, Leicester.

We will be immersed in the beauty of scripture and song\, and you can stay afterwards for mulled wine and mince pies. \n\n\n\nWe are delighted to be welcoming the Aylesbury Consort of Voices for a second year running\, an auditioned acappella choir\, to lead us in our music. The choir performs to support local churches and charities across Buckinghamshire\, Oxfordshire\, and Hertfordshire\, with some members being professional musicians. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvent marks the beginning of the Christian year. It is a period of longing\, hope and expectation. As we approach the darkest time of the year the Christian community looks forward to the dawning of a new light\, to a time when God’s promises to his people\, down through history\, are fulfilled. The readings from the Hebrew Scriptures articulate the hopes of the community of faith and the nature of God’s love. \n\n\n\nAdvent is characterised by the experience of waiting and watching and by the contrasting themes of light and darkness\, judgement and mercy\, life and death. These things remind us that Advent is not merely a countdown to Christmas and the birth of a baby in a stable in Bethlehem. It is a season to contemplate the mystery of the one who grew up to be crucified\, to rise from the dead and to come in glory to judge the living and the dead. \n\n\n\nA Launde Abbey Fundraising Event. \n\n\n\nTickets £25.
