Questions

What is it?: A guided fresh-flower workshop led by Studio Gallimore. 45 minutes in a quieter area away from the market floor, with your hands on the work rather than watching from the back.
Who is it for?: Anyone. No experience is expected and nothing needs bringing, apart from your friends to enjoy it with you, if you wish.
Does it cost anything?: Yes. £48 a person, in addition to your event admission — it is not included with either ticket.
How long does it last?: 45 minutes, including the short pause for the Golden Hour. The first session runs 18:15 to 19:00 and the second 20:45 to 21:30, so both sit inside the evening and you will not miss the rest of it. Booking a workshop also gives you access during both the early and later admission times, so you can browse before or after your session.
Are places limited?: Yes. Each session is limited to 12 people, because a workshop is a handful of people around one table and that is the whole point of it.
How do I reserve a place?: On the booking form, at the same time as your ticket for the evening. Choose your session there and it is paid for in the same payment.
