A touch of PIG magic, from our Christmas table to yours

Head over to THE PIG-near Bath this December for a joy-filled evening of creativity and festive spirit, making your own tray of six hand-rolled artisanal crackers to decorate your Christmas table at home, with a little help from our good friends at Heart and Soul Studio.

Heart and Soul will bring everything to make your crackers, from the paper, bows and ribbons, to the higgledy-piggledy mix of inside goodies - including jokes, paper crowns, and gifts. If you would like to include your own inside treats, do feel free to bring them along too*!

*Items to be no larger than 11.5cm long and 6cm wide.
