Wedding Calligraphy Workshop

Write Your Own Wedding Invitations

Have you ever imagined sending wedding invitations written in your own hand, only to wish your handwriting felt more elegant or refined?

This full-day calligraphy workshop is designed especially for soon-to-be-wed couples who would love to create their own wedding invitations, envelope addresses or place cards with confidence and style.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of Swinton Park Hotel, the day offers not only practical skill-building, but also a relaxing space to learn a new skill that will add a personal touch to your nuptials.

The workshop also includes a two-course meal in the Terrace Restaurant & Bar, along with arrival refreshments.

There is something deeply personal about guests receiving an invitation written by the couple themselves – a meaningful first glimpse into the celebration to come
