Flower Festival 2025: The Faery Tale Castle
Friday 12 - 14th September, 9am-4pm
The UK’s most sustainable flower festival returns this September, transforming Strawberry Hill House & Garden into a faery-tale realm where imagination runs wild.
For one magical weekend, The Faery Tale Castle will burst into bloom, as over 30 of the UK’s most pioneering floral artists conjure up spellbinding displays inspired by folklore and faery legends. Using only homegrown British flowers and sustainable techniques, they will weave nature’s untamed beauty into every corner of this gothic masterpiece.
Guest curated by botanical artist Gaia Elkington, alongside co-curator Leigh Chappell, this year’s festival will see Strawberry Hill House become The Faery Tale Castle. Expect spinning wheels, a witch’s perfumery, flying carpets, a goblin market, and even a giant spider lurking in the gardens.
Where better to host such daring floral artistry than the little Gothic Castle that Horace Walpole designed for theatrical illusion, enabling artists to show visitors “the extraordinary possibilities of botanical art.”
Join us for this extraordinary adventure through faery-land and let your imagination bloom.
