Evening Classes | McQueens

Amongst the hubbub of Halloween antics, autumnal foliage, and berry-hued florals there’s another special festivity our team of florists have been quietly preparing for, for quite some time - Christmas! Every corner of McQueens will soon be immersed in the heavenly scent of fir trees, the shimmer of glass baubles and all manner of incredible flora and fauna from statuesque amaryllis to festive ilex berries. There’s one team in particular who are excitedly getting ready for yuletide - McQueens Flower School. Alongside this year’s sell-out Wreath and Table arrangement workshop (check out the newly added dates) we’re excited to introduce evening classes for the very first time.

We adore London in winter - from the glittering historical streets to the pop-up ice rinks filled with daring novices - the city truly comes alive. In our - perhaps biased opinion, the season isn’t complete without the ultimate Christmas experience - crafting a wreath. It’s the perfect activity for your annual BFF festive meet or an escape from the madness to show off your decor credentials that will make the neighbours green with envy. This year our East London based school is going one festive step further by transforming the classroom into twinkling, wooded winter wonderland - a hint at the foraged and found materials the wreaths will be created from.

Sip on champagne a learn a new, festive skill

Glass of champagne in hand - guests will enjoy demonstrations and guidance from our expert tutors as they share McQueens’ artisanal techniques. Sustainability is at the heart of the process with an emphasis on using textures and patterns as they appear in their natural state, evocative of the woods in winter.

There are only four evening classes to join.
