Page8 Hotel at Trafalgar Square is delighted to introduce three creative workshops designed to bring the festive spirit to life in London. These engaging events feature Sara Ward from Hen Corner—an author and regular contributor to Gardeners’ World magazine—who will lead a Linen Christmas Cracker Making workshop on Friday, November 22, and a Christmas Wreath Making session on Friday, November 29. Additionally, Hermanos Coffee will present a Colombian coffee workshop on Thursday, November 14.

Guests and London locals are encouraged to secure their places for these unique workshops, part of an ongoing series at Page8 aimed at supporting small British businesses. The 2024 series has been a success, with sold-out events such as coffee tastings, pottery painting, friendship bracelet making, flower pressing, and more.

These workshops take place in the serene atmosphere of Page Common Coffee House, located within the hotel. Afterward, attendees can dine at the rooftop restaurant, Kitty Hawk, which offers a spacious terrace and panoramic views of London.
