Nothing says Christmas like cherries. Celebrate this summer fruit and learn the art of preserving for the festive season.

Pickling master and owner of Cornersmith Café and Picklery Alex Elliott-Howery will teach you how to pickle cherries in two different styles. Make and take home cherries in a boozy syrup for a grown up treat and a classic pickled cherry to serve with your Christmas ham. Visit the Carriageworks Christmas Market after the workshop for fresh seasonal produce, Christmas specials and gifts.
