A few new additions to the list of masterclasses and workshops below, including a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for the school holidays. For all the details, keep scrolling past all those stunning images from last year’s Masterclass by The Flower Dispensary at The Estate Trentham captured by Katie Grant Photography.
There’s loads of options to drench yourself in florals for a day or two in. Both in the city or stunning country areas. The florals, the styling, the venues are an absolute treat for flower lovers and a pretty wise business investment if you’re a florist.




The Flower Dispensary Masterclass was held at The Estate in Trentham in August 2016. (More credits for the masterclass below)
