On 21 and 28 November 2026, the Culture Department of Guadarrama Town Hall will kick off the Christmas season with two workshops aimed at enhancing home decorations. The workshop for decorating Christmas trees is scheduled for 28 November, running from 10:30 to 13:30. All materials will be provided free of charge, with prior registration necessary. This activity is designed to spark creativity and embrace the festive spirit.
During the tree decoration workshop, participants will explore various ideas and techniques to adorn their Christmas trees in a unique and personal manner. By combining colours, textures, and materials, attendees will learn to create ornaments and arrangements that add a special touch to their holiday decor. Baubles, ribbons, stars, natural elements, lights, and small decorative details will feature prominently in this creative experience. Each participant will have the opportunity to unleash their imagination, experiment with different styles, and discover how small details can transform a tree into the true centrepiece of Christmas.
The Advent wreath workshop will take place on 21 November, also from 10:30 to 13:30, although it is currently fully booked, with a waiting list available. The Advent wreath is a symbol rich in history and spirituality that prepares individuals for the Christmas season. This workshop offers a creative experience where nature, decoration, and tradition converge. Participants will have the chance to craft their own wreaths using various elements, including natural materials such as pine branches, pine cones, candles, ribbons, and other festive decorations. Each creation will be unique, reflecting the taste and personality of the maker. In addition to learning different floral composition and decoration techniques, the workshop will provide insights into the significance of this tradition. The circular shape of the Advent wreath and its four candles represent the weeks leading up to Christmas, with a new candle lit each Sunday of Advent, symbolising hope, peace, joy, and love.
