Floral Workshops for Business Teams
Featherstone Flowers offers workplace retreats and team days with a difference. Set in our historic fifteenth-century tithe barn and three-acre flower field in the Hampshire countryside, our workshops provide a calm and inspiring setting to step away from the office. Designed to encourage connection, creativity, and a slower pace, each session includes time working with seasonal flowers grown on our farm, guided by our expert team. Whether you're looking for a hands-on floral workshop or a rewarding volunteering morning, we offer flexible half- and full-day options, with or without meeting time, all rooted in our sustainable approach to floristry.

Workshops
Gather & Create Workshops from £110 inc VAT per person
A hands-on floral experience where teams will learn about the artistry of floristry, working with seasonal, locally grown flowers. Under expert guidance, participants will create their own floral arrangements to take home, making it a memorable and rewarding experience. Workshops begin in the ancient tithe barn where you will be welcomed with freshly brewed tea and coffee, hear a talk about the barn and who we are and what we do at Featherstone Flowers. Participants will then be lead around the flower field and hear about the flowers we grow here, before cutting a selection of flowers which they will bring back to the barn (or the garden if the weather is right). After more refreshments they will be taught how to prepare and arrange their own flowers. Our professional florists will teach you how to create a vase arrangement and each participant will get to take their beautifully wrapped creation away with them. We provide all materials and equipment.
Tailored Team-Building Experiences
We can curate a bespoke workshop designed specifically for your team. Whether incorporating elements of mindfulness, collaboration, or simply a chance to relax and enjoy nature, we tailor the session to suit your business needs. These experiences also include an introduction to our growing methods, highlighting how we cultivate flowers with sustainability in mind. We’re proud to be winners of the Sustainable by Design award from the Sustainable Wedding Alliance in 2024.
Exclusive Away Days
For a more immersive experience, we offer half-day or full-day packages, which can include additional activities such as wild swimming, sauna sessions, clay-pigeon shooting, or wine tasting. Our historic barn provides the perfect space for teams to gather, with the option to include refreshments or lunch from our carefully selected partners. Lunch can be enjoyed on site—often in the barn garden, weather permitting—or offsite at one of our partner venues. We can also arrange offsite meeting spaces in collaboration with trusted local businesses.
