About this workshop

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,

Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows…"

- A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II Scene I

This event is a repeat of the sold out Lindley Late session in August 2026. This workshop will also be repeated on Wednesday 30 September.

Through guided scent exploration you will encounter the flowers and herbs that appear in Shakespeare’s writing: roses of love, rosemary for remembrance, violets of modesty, lavender, thyme, and other fragrant plants rich with symbolism.

This workshop blends literature, botanical history and perfume, offering a sensory encounter with the plants that shaped Shakespeare’s poetic world.

Explore the language of flowers in Shakespeare’s plays, smell botanical essences and herbs, and create a bespoke fragrance to take home.

All materials will be provided. RHS membership not required. Spaces on this workshop are limited, and tickets must be purchased in advance of the event.
