Wreath-making Workshops
We are excited to confirm that we will be running a series of Christmas Wreath-making workshops in conjunction with Niche Flowers, and these are now available to book!
The Orangery’s wreath-making workshops promise to be a relaxed and luxurious experience. Led by one of Norfolk’s most talented and sought-after florists and filled with exquisite food, the workshops are the perfect precursor to Christmas! This collaboration between Niche Flowers and The Orangery offers attendees three special dates to choose from. These dates offer either champagne afternoon tea or breakfast boards and mimosas! Whether you’re looking to spend some festive quality time with a loved one, or know someone who deserves to be spoiled, we’ll make sure that everyone has a beautiful day, filled with Christmas cheer and mince pies.
On Wednesday the 29th November and Wednesday the 6th December, your wreath-making experience will be accompanied by our special Christmas Champagne Afternoon Tea, as well as mince pies and coffee [£95pp]. On Sunday the 3rd December, wreath-making will be accompanied by Breakfast Boards, mimosas, mince pies and coffee [£85pp].
All of the materials and a box for attendees’ wreaths will be provided, as well as tools for the days.
Each date will be a truly special occasion and there is no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than good food and some crafting.
4th October 2023: The Return of the Marquee
The cold weather is returning and so is our marquee! This heated extension ensures more of our customers can enjoy unobstructed views of the lake and plenty of cake whilst staying warm and dry through the chilly weather.
Each of the six tables inside our marquee extension has its own heater, and the clear sides of the structure allow for a cosy indoor-outdoor feeling! Strings of lights adorn the ceiling to ward off any winter gloom.
We also welcome dogs into the marquee! As long as your furry friend is on a lead, you can enjoy some shelter together and indulge in a steaming coffee to warm-up for hands!
Wow, we can’t believe we’re saying this but RECIPES IN MIND: BAKING THROUGH LOCKDOWN is finally here!!!
In April 2020 we asked our customers, friends, family, local chefs and 3rd cousins twice-removed to submit the recipes that they’d been baking through lockdown so that we could put together a book to raise money for Norfolk and Waveney Mind. As everyone became isolated, many turned to baking as a way to provide physical and mental stimulation and comfort and the outpouring of support was incredible.
“Recipes in Mind: Baking through lockdown” has now gone to print and is available for pre-order on our website – www.orangerytearoom.co.uk – under the ‘Shop’ tab! Books will be ready for delivery or to be purchased directly from the tearoom from the tearoom from 12th December 2020! It is a beautiful hardback book, with 50 recipes, personal quotes and a foreword written by none other than Bake Off royalty Prue Leith ! All proceeds from the book will go directly to Norfolk and Waveney Mind to support the fantastic work they do in our region!
It will make the perfect Christmas present for any avid baker, and in years to come we hope that it will be a reminder of the ways in which we all got through this incredibly challenging year.
Our talented staff members have lovingly baked and photographed each recipe that was submitted, and with the help of our friends at Production Bureau Ltd we could not be more proud of the finished product! Thank you for all the support and submissions – we hope you love it just as much as we do!
