Each workshop is designed to bring a touch of seasonal magic into the home, making them the perfect way to celebrate the spirit of winter.
The Campaner restaurant and the Entrée bakery will be serving winter’s most beloved dishes, offering comforting flavours perfect for the season and filling the air with the irresistible aromas of mulled wine and mince pies.
