The perfect Christmas outing for friends or family, enjoy the festive atmosphere in one of Melbourne's most elegant historic settings and take home a delicious (and beautifully decorated) gingerbread house to celebrate the festive season.
Step inside the stunning 1847 Como House Ballroom and bring your festive creativity to life. These hands-on workshops are perfect for families, friends or anyone looking to embrace the Christmas spirit.
Learn how to assemble and decorate your own gingerbread house using fondant, sprinkles and a variety of sweet treats.
No prior experience is needed – all materials and tools are provided (but feel free to bring extra lollies if you would like!).
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults accompanying children will require their own ticket.
Groups are welcome, however every attendee must hold an individual ticket.
