Get crafty this autumn by designing your own leafy crown or spooky headdress.

Step away from screens to spend dedicated, creative time together as a family.

Using nature as our inspiration, this 90-minute workshop welcomes children and adults to celebrate the season by handcrafting their own autumn crowns and Halloween headdresses. Working with an abundance of natural materials—fragrant seasonal foliage, late-blooming flora, berries, pinecones, and seed pods—we will slow down, explore tactile botanical crafts, and enjoy the calming rhythm of making by hand.

Whether you want an enchanting, organic headpiece for Halloween or a festive crown celebrating the beauty of autumn, this session is designed to nurture creativity, build new skills, and connect with your local community.

What We’ll Do

Learn Floristry Techniques: Discover how to bind, wire and balance fresh and dried botanicals under expert guidance.

Shared Family Learning: An unhurried, collaborative space where parents, carers and children create side by side.

Mindful, Tactile Making: Tap into the grounding sensory benefits of working directly with natural elements.

Take Home Your Creations: Everyone leaves wearing or carrying their bespoke, earth-friendly crown, ready for autumn celebrations.

Who It’s For

Families with children (recommended ages 5+, though all ages are welcome with adult support).

Beginners: absolutely no prior crafting or floristry experience is needed.

Anyone seeking a calming, welcoming space to connect with neighbours and enjoy creative play.
