Easter Floral Wreath-Making Workshop

A Mindful Evening of Creativity and Spring Renewal

As the first signs of spring begin to appear across Kilkenny, we invite you to welcome the season with creativity, calm, and a little floral beauty of your own.

This spring, the Medieval Mile Museum invites you to slow down, create and celebrate the season of renewal at our Easter Floral Wreath-Making Workshop, presented in partnership with Festina Lente.

Taking place in the calm and historic surroundings of St Mary’s Church, this special evening offers a chance to welcome spring through creativity, nature and gentle reflection.

Celebrate the Season in Bloom

As the days grow longer and the first signs of spring appear, this workshop offers a meaningful way to mark the Easter season. Participants will craft their own beautiful floral wreath using sustainably sourced blooms and natural materials. You can choose between a traditional single-tier wreath or an elegant two-tier design, creating a piece that reflects your own style while embracing the colours and textures of spring.

 

A Mindful and Sensory Experience

This is more than a craft workshop. It is a restorative experience designed to nourish creativity and wellbeing.

Your evening includes a sensory garden walk, floral journaling inspired by Kilkenny’s rich heritage, and expert guidance throughout the wreath-making process in a tranquil setting. Herbal teas will be served to soothe and inspire.

Together, these elements create a peaceful and reflective atmosphere, allowing participants to slow down and reconnect with nature and creativity.
