Discover beautiful, sustainable British flowers grown right here in Rotherham, all pesticide-free. Join us for engaging floral workshops where you can learn more about these natural, homegrown blooms.
About Our Workshops
All our workshops are warm, welcoming, relaxed and creative. There's no prescriptive floristry where you're given the 'ingredients' and copy a design, you are free to make your own selections from everything we have on offer to make your very own masterpiece. No experience is needed, a demo will be given and full support should you need it is provided throughout. We strive to create a space where every voice is valued, and differences are celebrated as strengths. If you need any adjustments to participate fully, please let us know — we’re happy to tailor the experience to fit your needs.

Winter/Christmas Workshops with Wentworth Woodhouse
SATURDAY 28 NOVEMBER
Christmas/Winter luxury wreathmaking workshop
Get into the festive spirit with a relaxed and creative Christmas wreath-making workshop. This is a chance to slow down, get creative and make a beautiful wreath to take home and enjoy throughout the festive season.
There’s no set design to copy and no need to be an experienced crafter. Liz will guide you through the different foliage, flowers and natural decorations available before demonstrating the basics and letting you create your own unique design.
Choose from a beautiful selection of homegrown and locally sourced evergreen foliage, dried flowers and seedheads, natural cones, dried fruits and spices, bells, feathers, ribbons and more! You’ll also discover the fascinating meanings behind some of the foliage through floriography, the traditional language of flowers.
Whether you prefer something traditional and elegant, wild and natural, bold and contemporary or beautifully rustic you’ll have plenty of inspiration and materials to create a wreath that’s completely your own.
Cost includes all materials plus tea or coffee. Add a glass of sparkling wine for £7.50.
Any special requirements – just let us know in advance as the workshop can be adapted to suit!
