Autumn Harvest Flowers Workshop at Gibside Stables

Saturday 4th October, 11am

💥 Gibside Stables is approximately a 20-minute walk from the reception building and includes mixed terrain and a steep-incline, so we’d recommend arriving onsite at least 30 minutes before the workshop begins and wearing sturdy footwear.

Fancy a basket that’s not just for picnics?

In this workshop, you’ll be creating a gorgeous, sustainable arrangement in a rustic basket, using moss and chicken wire as your base (because we like to keep things planet-friendly).

We’ll then pack it full of autumn’s best bits – foliage, flowers, dried grasses, and even apples, which give a cheeky nod to the harvest at Gibside’s orchards.

It’s hands-on, creative, and you’ll walk away with a design that looks like autumn has moved right into your living room.

Our workshops at The Northern Flower Garden are always fun and supportive where I demonstrate professional floristry techniques, share the tips and tricks and we’ll keep the creativity flowing with crafted drinks and homemade bakes from the National Trust team.

⏰ Takes around 2 hours – but it’ll fly by.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out—reserve your place today and make it an experience to remember!
