On 13th September from 4–6pm, the Women’s Society will gather for a truly special experience: an afternoon of flower arranging at the enchanting Dahlia Beach, nestled within Millets Farm in Frilford, Abingdon. This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a chance to step into a floral haven, slow down, and share creativity and connection with like-minded women.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a sea of colour. Dahlia Beach is home to over 4,000 dahlias, each one bursting with personality and charm. Stroll through the fields, gather armfuls of blooms, and capture those Instagram-worthy moments against the iconic pastel beach huts or aboard “Poggy,” the double-decker bus that has become a joyful landmark of this unique venue.
The afternoon will begin with an introduction to the story of Dahlia Beach—how this whimsical pick-your-own garden was born from a love of flowers and a vision of community. Known not just for its vibrant blooms but for its sense of playfulness and welcome, Dahlia Beach has quickly become a destination for anyone seeking creativity and connection in a beautiful, relaxed setting.
Once you’ve chosen your flowers, you’ll be guided by a skilled florist in creating your own hand-tied bouquet. Whether you’re new to flower arranging or simply want to refine your skills, this hands-on workshop will leave you with both a gorgeous floral arrangement and the confidence to keep creating at home. And because no gathering is complete without a little indulgence, the experience will round off with fizz (non-alcoholic) and cake, enjoyed together as the sun dips lower in the sky.
This exclusive Women’s Society event is priced at £50 per person, which includes flower picking, the full workshop, a goody bag, and refreshments. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon—celebrating creativity, making new connections, and enjoying the tranquillity of a beautiful outdoor setting.
So, if you’ve been craving a moment of calm, a burst of inspiration, or simply the joy of spending time with a wonderful community of women, join us for this unforgettable floral experience. Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot and let your creativity bloom.
