A north Norfolk estate is offering visitors the chance to elevate their skills in artisanal craft workshops ahead of the Christmas season.

Wolterton, located north of Aylsham, is kicking off the chillier months with a number of workshops available in the build-up to Christmas.

And thanks to a special offer, our readers will get the chance to join in the workshops at a 10pc discount.

The first one, a chocolate-making experience, will be taking place in less than two weeks.

The three-hour workshop will be hosted by award-winning tutor and founder of Hunters Academy of Food and Hunters Chocolate, Gary Hunter. 

Mr Hunter will also be hosting a Christmas canapé workshop in November where guests can gain nifty knowledge on how to create their own Christmas canapés.
