Baltic Cities Christmas Markets Knitting Holiday
Thursday 5th - Wednesday 11th December 2024Price: from £2.235pp Join us for a pre-Christmas holiday taking in the beautiful capital cities of Tallinn and Riga. Tallinn is one of Europe’s newest capitals and boasts a rich mix of architecture and culture. The Old Town was almost untouched by war and remains perfectly preserved. A fine Christmas tree will be the centre piece of Old Town Square, where we’ll have some time to explore the Christmas market. We’ll visit the highlights of the city with our local guide and learn about Estonian handicrafts. Riga is the largest city in the Baltics and features a fascinating mixture of proud Latvian traditions and influences of the various countries that have occupied it. On a tour with a local guide, we’ll soak up the charms of the city and enjoy time to explore the magical Christmas markets. We’ll also explore the rich heritage of Latvian costume and take part in a mitten knitting workshop with a local expert. The tour is accompanied by our Stitchtopia expert Anna Nikipirowicz, who has designed a project which captures the spirit of this Baltic Cities tour perfectly. Workshop information: During this holiday, we will work on a pair of mittens that combine the traditions of Latvia and Estonia. We will use traditional colourwork technique to create beautiful patterns, and then add embellishments. The mittens will have a modern twist, as we will be able to make them into fingerless gloves as well.
