Talk by Cherrill Sands

Enjoy this festive talk looking at the stories and folklore behind a range of festive plants. Celebrate our winter favourites from holly, ivy, mistletoe and frankincense, to Christmas trees, poinsettias and more.

We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
