Experts will be on hand to help people with their creations from 11am until 4pm on Sunday.
It is one of the most popular events in the Christmas calendar at the attraction.
There is also children's Christmas decoration making workshops, and the opportunity to try the castle's hot chocolate and cookies. Heritage sites manager Mark Hartwell said: "Visitors can combine a visit to the castle with choosing their family Christmas tree from dozens available from Greenaway's on display near the herb garden. The tree sales will continue every Saturday and Sunday up to Christmas. There are also a wide range of traditional and unusual gifts available in the visitor centre."
