Millie Gets Festive

Millie Gets Festive

Enjoy a Christmas-themed afternoon at our 350-acre nature reserve on the edge of Poole Harbour.

As the sun goes down, enjoy a winter walk and take in the seasonal changes. A Winter Trail will lead you around the main college campus, offering a fun way to explore the site. Meet our rescue animals, view the students at work in the plant nursery and kitchen garden or stop to take part in a creative craft session.

If you are feeling creative, why not book on to our Christmas wreath-making workshop. Led by the college’s horticulture team, the two-hour workshop will guide you through the process of creating your bespoke wreath. All materials will be provided along with festive refreshments. Pre-booking required, special offer price £30.

Faith’s Kitchen Café will be open throughout the event, offering a selection of homemade light bites and treats to spice up your visit. With indoor and outdoor seating and takeaway options, you are sure to find a suitable spot with a lovely atmosphere and view.

When your feet need a rest and your stomach is full, try out some retail therapy at our Millie’s Gifts and Garden stall. There will be a selection of homegrown plants and seasonal produce for sale, as well as bespoke craft items created by our students and staff.

Entry by pre-booked tickets only. Adults £2, children under 16 £1. All income generated through events, goes back into supporting students’ learning.
