Cambridge Flower School
Calling all mothers, grandmothers and daughters, Cambridge Flower School is opening its doors and inviting you to spend some quality time with one another over spring bouquets. On 5 March from 10am to 1pm, book a place on the school’s ‘Mother’s Day Special Workshop’ and join a loved one in creating an arrangement using seasonal flowers. Your arrangement will be completed with a gift box and you can take all of it home as a memento of the occasion. Each ticket is valid for two places to encourage families to pair up with one another. They’re £120 per pair, and can be bought online.
