“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”

Step into an enchanted twilight world of moonlit gardens, fragrant plants and Shakespearean magic in this immersive two-hour sensory workshop inspired by ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’.

 Drawing on the folklore of dream plants, evening rituals, and the soothing power of botanical scent, participants will explore the ancient connection between aromatics, sleep, and the dreaming imagination. Inspired by the wild forests, love potions, and nocturnal atmosphere of Shakespeare’s play, this class invites attendees to slow down, awaken the senses, and create their own ritual of rest and reverie.

 Using fragrant essential oils,  aromatic herbs and botanical ingredients associated with calm, slumber, dreams and the night garden — such as lavender, mugwort, chamomile and rose you will create two bespoke botanical products designed to encourage relaxation, sweet sleep and vivid dreaming.

 Alongside practical blending, the session weaves together literary inspiration, herbal folklore, and gentle sensory rituals, offering a deeply restorative creative experience. Perfect for lovers of literature, botanical beauty, herbal lore, perfume, and slow, sensory creativity.
