There’s always something nostalgic about looking at your favourite handmade decoration glistening on the tree or perhaps a decoration set up on your mantlepiece every year.
If you’re looking to make a special unique Christmas decoration this year or simply want to try your hand at something new this holiday season our seven festive workshops in Belfast are here to inspire you.
5. Christmas Bike Building Workshop, Belvoir Parish Church - Wednesday, December 7, 4pm
This Christmas, Sustrans would like to spread a little festive joy by helping parents who have bought their children a bike this year. Many bikes bought online are not pre-assembled. Sustrans would like to provide a free build assembly for parents.
Sustrans are a charity that make it easier for people to walk and cycle and by providing this free service, their hope is to get more children enjoying cycling and continuing to cycle on a regular basis.
