In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and decorate your own one-of-a-kind Derby hat using a wide selection of ribbons, flowers, feathers, trims, and embellishments.

Local artist Debra Simpson will provide everything needed to transform a simple hat into a statement piece worthy of the races. Whether you prefer something elegant, whimsical, bold, or classic, you’ll have the freedom to create a design that reflects your personal style.

Enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere while crafting your hat, and sip a complimentary mimosa included with your ticket. Additional mimosas and beverages will be available for purchase at the bar.

No experience is needed—just bring your creativity and enjoy the afternoon with friends!


We are open to the general public. Our venue is fully accessible with a ramp entrance.

Cancellations are required at least 3 days prior to the event. No refunds will be given after that date.
