Christmas Wreath Making

We’re delighted to welcome Louise from East Kent Flower Company back this November for one of our favourite festive traditions of the season.

On Wed 26th Nov 2025, join us for a cosy evening of creativity in our outside heated conservatory as Louise guides you step by step to make your own door wreath using fresh foliage, moss, and seasonal decorations. No experience is needed, and everyone goes home with a wreath to be proud of.

£75 per person including a glass of mulled wine or fizz and festive nibbles on arrival, with all tools and materials provided. Please note, age 18+ only.
Spaces are limited, so early booking direct with Louise at East Kent Flower Company is essential. Why not make a day of it and book a festive meal at The Duke William to enjoy alongside the workshop?

Celebrate Sinterklaas at The Duke William Christmas Market

Saturday 6th December marks Sinterklaas, the much-loved Dutch tradition when Saint Nicholas brings gifts and sweet treats for children. We’re bringing some of that seasonal magic to The Duke William with our very own Christmas Market.

Join us for a festive afternoon in the heart of Ickham between 11am–4pm. Shop small and support local traders, pick up festive treats and gifts, and enjoy live music with Miss Holiday Swing between 2–4pm. Warm up round the winter BBQ between 12–4pm, or head to the outside bar for festive winter warmers. Take part in our Christmas raffle in support of Pilgrims Hospice, and don’t miss Sinterklaas spreading festive cheer and goodies for the little ones.

Bring family and friends and soak up the festive spirit — there’s something for everyone to enjoy! If you are dining in the pub, we highly recommend booking a table to secure your spot.
