Late Spring Flower Bouquet Workshop at Gibside Stables, Newcastle

Join us for a relaxed and creative morning at Gibside Stables, where we’ll celebrate the beauty of late spring through flowers (and yes, you’ll leave with something much nicer than a supermarket bunch!).

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own hand-tied bouquet using the trusted spiral technique; don’t worry, I’ll guide you every step of the way. We’ll then weave our seasonal blooms through a natural curly willow armature, creating a beautifully textured design inspired by the nesting season of spring.

Surrounded by the stunning grounds of the Gibside estate, this is your chance to slow down, get creative, and enjoy a few hours immersed in flowers. Whether you’re coming on your own or with a friend, it’s a welcoming space to learn something new.

Once your bouquet is complete, you’ll carefully gift wrap it in an aqua bubble; ready to take home, admire, or proudly tell everyone “I made this!”

No experience needed—just bring yourself and a love of flowers.

All materials are provided, along with refreshments provided by the National Trust. Just bring yourself plenty enthusiasm!
