Flowers from Shakespeare’s Garden - a Fragrance Workshop

Inspired by the plants woven throughout Shakespeare’s plays—and the enchanting Victorian illustrations in Shakespeare’s Garden by Walter Crane—this immersive workshop explores the fragrances of the Elizabethan garden.

 Through guided scent exploration you will encounter the flowers and herbs that appear in Shakespeare’s writing: roses of love, rosemary for remembrance, violets of modesty, lavender, thyme, and other fragrant plants rich with symbolism.

 Together we will explore the language of flowers in Shakespeare’s plays, smell botanical essences and herbs, and create a bespoke fragrance inspired by a Shakespearean garden.

This workshop blends literature, botanical history and perfume, offering a sensory encounter with the plants that shaped Shakespeare’s poetic world.

Tickets £10.00* and £16.00* - includes workshop notes, refreshments, all equipment and materials and your finished fragrance to take home
